Harry Kane can take over from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo but he won’t do so at Tottenham, says Tony Cascarino

Tony Cascarino thinks Harry Kane can still become the best player in the world… but he won’t achieve that at Tottenham.

Kane is already a Spurs legend having netted his 208th goal at the weekend to become their joint-second top scorer of all time.

Despite Kane’s individual success, he is yet to win any silverware at Spurs

The 27-year-old has won countless personal accolades at the north London club but the thing missing is silverware.

Simon Jordan told talkSPORT that Kane is worth £150million but no club can afford that sum in the current climate.

Former Chelsea striker Cascarino thinks the England international will soon have to decide whether he wants to be Spurs’ best ever player or go elsewhere and win things.

Speaking to Hawksbee and Jacobs on talkSPORT, Cascarino said: “He’s 28 in July and Beckham went to Real Madrid at 28 – I think he’s going to look at his team.

Kane’s contract expires in 2024

“What has he won? The answer is nothing. He’s won lots of accolades for his individual achievements but he was a loser in the League Cup final and Champions League final.

“The bottom line for Harry is does he want to be Tottenham’s greatest player ever? Is that his main goal? I don’t think so. I think he’s far more ambitious than that.

“That comes with being a Champions League player every season, fighting for titles. As a driven man you imagine he is, that’s something he’d like to achieve. He’s that good.

“You’ve got Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the end of their careers. Lewandowski is four years older than Harry, he’s got the chance to be the best player in the world. 

Could Harry Kane usurp Messi and Ronaldo once they retire?

“That might seem a way off at the moment, as it stands as a centre forward and his goal returns, but he’s got every chance.

“Harry’s got a major decision. Does he think he’s going to win things for Spurs? I don’t think they are going to win things.

“Don’t think winning the League Cup is going to keep Harry Kane. I think it’s challenging for the biggest honours in the world.

“He’s a Golden Boot winner at the World Cup, he’s up there at the top table and I think he wants to stay there and be part of it for five or six years.

“Does he see that at Tottenham? I would say, at a guess, probably not.”
