Harry Kane "Is Cert To Stay At Tottenham"

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is convinced that Harry Kane will stay at the club this summer.

Redknapp gave Kane his debut for Spurs in 2011 and has since watched on with interest as the striker has gone on to become the club's most prolific scorer ever.

Kane has also scored more goals for the England men's national team than any other player past or present.

But despite his goalscoring brilliance, 29-year-old Kane has still yet to win a trophy during his career.

Kane has just 12 months remaining on his current contract at Spurs and he has been linked with a possible move to either Bayern Munich or Manchester United this summer.

But Redknapp told BBC Sport this week that Kane "is cert to stay at Tottenham. I think he is building a new house [near to London].

"Family would be the all-important thing for him, so there's no chance he's going to Bayern Munich. He'll be staying at Tottenham.

"He's not going to want to go to Germany - he's not taking his family over there, not a chance."

Kane is believed to be motivated more by the opportunity to win trophies than by the prospect of significantly increasing his salary.

But he is also said to be desperate to end his career as the Premier League's all-time leading scorer, suggesting that he would rather stay in England than move to Germany.

That would appear to point to Old Trafford as Kane's most likely destination but Redknapp does not think that Spurs to United is a big enough step up.

He explained: "If he stays here [in England], unless you go to Manchester City, you're not guaranteed to win anything.

"You could go to Manchester United and not win anything. You can go to Chelsea or anywhere else you want to go.

"At the moment, City are winning everything. They're on a different level - but City don't need him. They've got Erling Haaland up front and there's not a spot for Kane any more [at City].

"There's not a move for him really so I think he'll stay at Tottenham, I really do. I'm very confident about that."
