Ex-Tottenham boss Redknapp warns Kane exit must be taken seriously

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is convinced Harry Kane will leave the club if they aren't challenging for titles.

Kane said himself this week that the club would have to match his ambition of collecting silverware, having not collected a single medal during his career.

Redknapp told Sky Sports: "Listen, Harry is an ambitious boy. He's a fantastic professional, a great lad, and he wants to play and he wants to win things.

"They [Tottenham] need surgery in the summer, but are they going to be spending any money? Is anyone going to be spending money now in the next year or two and going for big transfers?

"He'll be looking at that and thinking 'hang on'.

"And what a player he would be for one of those top clubs. I don't want to see him leave Tottenham and nor do Tottenham fans but what a centre-forward he would be for Man City for instance with Aguero coming to the end.

"He'd be a great signing for anybody. He's a great player and a great professional - hopefully he'll stay at Tottenham but he won't stay unless he sees them pushing to win things."
