Resist Real Temptation …Crouch Cautions Kane

Harry Kane

Peter Crouch has warned Harry Kane that leaving north London in search of trophies may not be the sensible move.

Tottenham’s main man has regularly been linked with Real Madrid among other clubs in the past, a natural consequence of his outstanding record for club and country over recent seasons.

However, Sportmail columnist and former Spurs striker, Crouch, believes that Kane will be wise to stay where he is and cement his legacy, suggesting that success abroad may not bring the same satisfaction.

“I think if you win something at Tottenham, it is going to mean 10 times more than going to Real Madrid and winning something,” Crouch said, as reported in the Daily Star. 

“Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener. He’s a top player and he deserves the best so nobody can begrudge him anything if he wants to move. 

“But I just feel like if he thinks there’s a chance of winning something at Tottenham it would mean far more to him than if he went somewhere and perhaps won a league title in a different country.

“Whereas at Tottenham, if he finishes there or he manages to win something there, they will have a statue built for him, wouldn’t they?” he quizzed.

Kane has been in sparkling form for Tottenham this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists in just 18 Premier League matches.

And Crouch, who was at the club when Kane was first started to break into the first team in training, has nothing but glowing praise for the England captain.
