Sugar warns Spurs fans over Kane sale chances

Former Tottenham chairman Alan Sugar can see Harry Kane eventually moving on.

Kane is being watched by Real Madrid.

"You don't have to accept any sort of money for a player," he told talkSPORT. "The big issue people miss out is the untenable pressure that is placed upon a club when a player wants to leave. Then the money becomes irrelevant.

"In the case of Gareth Bale there must have been conversations where Tottenham said, 'If it's down to money, then let's have a chat'. It wasn't that though, he was given the chance to play for Real Madrid.

"That's why most players leave, just look at Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modric.

"Harry Kane allegedly says he wants to be at the club for the rest of his life, like Matt Le Tissier at Southampton. Let us hope he is but let's be under no illusion. He will be the one that controls that."
