Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes Harry Kane can become the best player in the world but cannot fulfil his full potential at Tottenham.
The striker marked his return from injury with a goal in the 2-0 victory against West Brom, taking his goal tally at the club to 208 - enough to put him joint-second on the all-time top-scorer list.
While many expect the England captain to ultimately overtake Jimmy Greaves' tally of 266 goals, Cascarino believes he should leave Tottenham to achieve new heights.
Kane has previously been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid but would cost a significant amount due to the fact that his contract is tied down until 2024. However, the forward has been urged to consider his future at Tottenham at the end of the season.
“He’s 28 in July and Beckham went to Real Madrid at 28 – I think he’s going to look at his team," he told TalkSPORT.
“What has he won? The answer is nothing. He’s won lots of accolades for his individual achievements but he was a loser in the League Cup final and Champions League final. The bottom line for Harry is does he want to be Tottenham’s greatest player ever? Is that his main goal? I don’t think so. I think he’s far more ambitious than that.
“That comes with being a Champions League player every season, fighting for titles. As a driven man you imagine he is, that’s something he’d like to achieve. He’s that good.
“You’ve got Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the end of their careers. Lewandowski is four years older than Harry, he’s got the chance to be the best player in the world. That might seem a way off at the moment, as it stands as a centre forward and his goal returns, but he’s got every chance.
“Harry’s got a major decision. Does he think he’s going to win things for Spurs? I don’t think they are going to win things. Don’t think winning the League Cup is going to keep Harry Kane. I think it’s challenging for the biggest honours in the world.
“He’s a Golden Boot winner at the World Cup, he’s up there at the top table and I think he wants to stay there and be part of it for five or six years. Does he see that at Tottenham? I would say, at a guess, probably not.”
