Chelsea fans split on whether Harry Kane is 'better than Haaland' amid Tottenham exit reports

Chelsea fans have already delivered their verdict on the potential signing of Harry Kane.

Kane stole the headlines on Monday night after it was reported by Sky Sports News that he had informed Tottenham he wants to leave this summer.

The report claims Spurs are lining up replacements amid the Kane news, with the England striker having made no secret of his ambition to win trophies.

But football.london understands that while Kane is frustrated by what has gone on at Tottenham with a managerial change, another trophyless season and with Champions League football next season unlikely, he has not told them he wants to leave.

That won't stop fans clamouring for his signature amid those reports, however, and Chelsea fans are very much part of that group of supporters with their club on the lookout for a new frontman.

The Blues have been strongly linked with the likes of Erling Haaland and Romelu Lukaku ahead of the summer with both players priced at £100million and above.

Kane would cost something similar, and even if Tottenham did consider selling to a direct rival, which is unlikely, there would likely be a huge premium for London rivals Chelsea.

Though, some Chelsea fans still want to see the deal done this summer, with Kane an undeniably huge talent with 165 Premier League goals to his name to date, while others would prefer someone younger and with less miles on the clock than the 27-year-old.

Here's what Chelsea fans have had to say on Reddit.

Unholysinner - "Genuinely would love this signing though. Hope he’s willing to say he wants to stay in London and his family are well settled. At the end of the day, if we can’t get Haaland, Kane is the best alternative and he’s probably worth close to 100-120m."

"acod15 - "Getting Kane would be better than Haaland imo. Proven in the prem which means almost guaranteed to hit the ground running which is what we need currently."

Swartan - "Imagine Werner on the other end of a Kane long ball."

Onigramm - "Let's pull that one off! Kane wouldn't even have to move from where he lives..."

Mistspelled - "Things to take into consideration though he is 28 years old and injury-prone. Rather go with Haaland."

danceformiscanthas - "In what world is 4 years tops of injury-prone Harry Kane prime worth more than what Haaland can offer? (10+ years or 4+ years + massive resale value)."

_off_piste_ - "I’d rather have Haaland. He’s big, fast and a generational talent finishing."

TheBlueNomad - "Count us out. They won't bother selling to us, even if we bid the highest amount. They did the same thing with Modric."
