Cascarino: Spurs should've demanded Bernardo in Man City Kane bid

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino says Tottenham should've pushed for a swap involving Bernardo Silva when Manchester City came knocking for Harry Kane.

Cascarino believes Spurs will be ruing the decision not to go after Silva.

While Kane has struggled with just one Premier League goal, the City star has been sensational.

Cascarino told talkSPORT: “If you could get Bernardo Silva in the deal and lose Kane, you'd get a bit of money but you'd get Silva.

“He might not want to leave City and he might not want to go, that was a great option.

“We had this conversation. If you could get Bernardo Silva in the deal… you've lost Christian Eriksson and not really replaced him with the quality of someone like Bernardo Silva.

“That conversation was this summer about Bernardo Silva as it wasn't certain he'd stay at City. From the start of the season, he's just been fantastic."
