Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy insists Harry Kane can win silverware by staying.
Levy made the claim when speaking at the debating society of Cambridge University.
He declared: "He can absolutely win a trophy at Spurs.
"But being a legend is also important. The fact that he's top scorer of Tottenham Hotspur – he's making history.
"I hope one day that there is a statue of Harry Kane outside our stadium.
Levy also dismissed claims he was pricing Kane out of a move away.
He also said: "I don't consider myself a special negotiator or anything like that, I'm just acting in the best interests of my club.
"I think when it comes to the transfer it depends on the balance of power.
"If you have a player who you really don't want to sell then you have every right to say no, you own the registration.
"It depends also on the character of the player, whether you feel at the end you can keep the player because we're operating in a team sport, it's very important that we keep the team together. Every circumstance is different."
