Why it`s time for Harry Kane to move on.

Harry Kane is one of the top strikers in the world, ever since the English sensation broke into the Spurs team in 2014 he has been unstoppable. Winning two golden boots and so far scoring a lethal 136 goals in 201 Premier League games, whilst proving his worth in other competitions such as the Champions League, making the final in 2018-19. I look at why the number 10 needs to move on this summer, in order to win trophies and better his playing career.

Lets face it, love him or hate him, Harry Kane is a fantastic striker. After multiple loan spells in the Championship, the now England captain was looking like just another English player that would slip through and fall into the hands of the unforgiving youth system. Yet he was brought back to Spurs in 2013/14 by head coach Tim Sherwood, where he was able to display some of his undoubted talent, mostly in the Europa League. I think its fair to say at this stage, Tottenham were undergoing a bit of a striker crisis, with £26 million Spanish summer signing Roberto Soldado not quite cutting it for the lily whites and with no other recognised striker within their ranks the North Londoner`s had no choice but to turn to an inexperienced 22 year-old Harry Kane.

On the 27th May 2014, former Southampton coach Mauricio Pochettino was appointed head coach at Tottenham Hotspur after the sacking of Tim Sherwood. It seemed an almost instant connection between Kane and the new boss, in Kane`s debut season under the Argentinian, he scored a mouthwatering 29 goals in all competitions. The devastating hit-man hasn`t looked back since, decimating defences, providing centre-half's with restless nights and setting a demand for net manufactures around the country to use more resolute materiel's.

Fairy tales never last forever though, after 5 years in charge, Maricio Pochettino was controversially sacked by the board after the clubs poor run of form. It seems the pulsating 3-2 comeback against Ajax, to find themselves in an illustrious Champions League final in Madrid was the peak of the Spurs day`s, for now. It just seemed like everything fell into place for Spurs at the right time and because of this it was a gargantuan opportunity squandered to win their first major trophy since 2008. A significant bunch of their players were reaching the peak of their careers at simultaneous times, a young, hungry and passionate manager at the helm, once lifeless fans now effervescent and a world class striker at their disposal. The departure of Pochettino should really call for the departure of Spurs most prised possession, Harry Kane.

In the 6 seasons Kane has had with his boyhood club, none have resulted in trophies, individual awards, yes, but a player is never judged on those, if they were they`d all be playing tennis. Trophy hunting is of course a major part of a players career and if he doesn't say his farewells he wont be winning one anytime soon. The 26 year-old still has an almighty space to continue to grow, whilst also reaching ever closer to his prime and will still possesses a reasonable re-sale value, especially in this market. Finding a hugely competitive club will not be a problem, his lethal presence in front of goal is recognised throughout Europe and their would be clubs queuing around the block to secure his signature.

If Kane does leave, it could benefit his national team as well as his own club football. If the captain of the England national team could experience an alternative view to the English game this would only benefit him and provide invaluable experience to others when the major tournaments come around for The Three Lions. It has been mentioned that due to the interspersed nature of many other countries players playing in various leagues, when they come back to national football, they are wholly united and occupy more knowledge about other countries football styles.

He may become an even better player. Kane has been playing under one familiar system and role in both national and club football, moving clubs may humble him to learn to play various roles other than always being the `main man`. This could help improve other sides to his game, working with more coaches and players that are as good as he is.

So there it is, why its time for Harry Kane to move on. He has had a unbelievable career at Spurs, delighting not just his own fans but fans of football, but all good things must come to an end and it seems like this is the time for Kane to go and conquer another patch of land.
