Arsenal legend Henry tells Kane: Leave Spurs; you need more than goals at end of your career

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has urged Harry Kane to leave Tottenham.

Last night's Champions League exit means Spurs will go a 15th season without a trophy, and Kane's career trophy drought subsequently also extends as he still searches for his first piece of silverware.

Kane's contract will have just one year remaining come the summer and the player is in no rush to sign an extension, prompting ongoing speculation that he could finally decide to leave.

"If I was him I would go," Henry told CBS Sports. "It's up to him to choose where but I would go, he has to know where he wants to go. A player like that, a player of his calibre, should not talk about just his goals at the end of his career. If I was him, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if all I could talk about is my goals.

"Listen, it's a great achievement and I have massive respect for him – I think he's outstanding. But if that's the only thing you can bring to the table at the end of your career, that's tough for me."
