Here is the bottom line. If Manchester United are desperate enough to offer a cool £100million for a player who could leave for nothing in a year’s time, Spurs should bite their hand off.
If Harry Kane is not going to sign a new contract, what is the point of Tottenham keeping him? To score another 30 goals, lead his side to an eighth place finish and then disappear for nothing?
His remarkable numbers and outstanding form over many years make it impossible to class Kane as part of the problem at Spurs. But the fact is they have won nothing with Kane as their centre-forward and there are few signs to suggest that will change.
