Ferdinand tells Kane: Time to leave Spurs

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand says it's time for Harry Kane to leave Tottenham.

The 26-year-old helped Spurs to the Champions League final last season, where they were beaten by Liverpool , and fired England to the semi-finals of the World Cup.

He scored from the penalty spot as Spurs drew 2-2 at Olympiakos on Wednesday night, but Ferdinand thinks he should be plotting a way out of north London.

He told BT Sport: "If you look at it as if you're an individual, put yourself in Harry Kane's shoes, you're saying 'I'm off'.

“I've got to be honest with you, I'd be gone because I've not got time to hang around. I could get injured next season, I could lose form etc. I want to win now.

"I've given most of my career to this club and they haven't [won anything]. Yeah, you go very close, you can keep going very close, they've been close a few times of winning the league and then obviously the Champions League . It's not enough.

“I can understand [Christian] Eriksen, you can understand Eriksen's frustrations and wanting to leave and saying 'I want to go somewhere and potentially win something', not be a maybe."
