Paul Merson has claimed that Manchester United can challenge for the title next season if they sign Harry Kane and Declan Rice this summer. However, he has tipped Kane to remain at Tottenham and focus on becoming the Premier League’s all-time leading scorer.
Rice could leave West Ham after another standout season in the search of trophies and Champions League football. Meanwhile, Kane who was heavily linked with Manchester City last summer is expected to be at the centre of more transfer speculation after yet another season without silverware.
Kane, who has spent his entire career at Tottenham, turns 29 before the next season starts and is still yet to win a major trophy. His current contract runs until the summer of 2024, and in all likelihood he will either put pen to paper on a new long term deal soon or be sold before his value significantly depreciates.
