Tottenham hero Hazard tells Kane: Stay and be our greatest ever

Tottenham hero Mickey Hazard has urged Harry Kane to stay.

Hazard was once forced out of Spurs to join Chelsea but urges Kane to choose to stick around and eclipse even the late Jimmy Greaves.

Ahead of today's crunch London derby Hazard told The Sun: “I'd tell him, 'Harry, you've a chance to leave a legacy at this club that is unsurpassed and will never be bettered.'

“I was talking to [Tottenham legend] Steve Perryman when there was the big debate about Harry leaving.

“He said, 'Mick, to win trophies for the club you love, to win just one, is worth winning ten at a club that you've just been bought to play for'.

“I did a bit of work with Jimmy just before he died. I was completely overawed. I was sitting next to greatness. It was overpowering. That's what Harry can have.

“If he sees out his career at our football club, smashes Jimmy's goalscoring record and wins a trophy, he will go down as our greatest ever."
