Rangers striker Jermain Defoe admits the pressure to win trophies is something he wishes he had earlier in his career, as he issued advice to Harry Kane.
The veteran helped Steven Gerrard 's side to win a first league title in a decade, just his second major honour after a League Cup with Tottenham in 2008.
And he's warned current Spurs star Kane he may have to leave to win silverware, as he admits he regrets not having that drive earlier in his career.
Defoe said on TalkSPORT : "If you’d have asked me this question a few years ago, I’d have said he should have stayed there, what he’s done at the football club – he’s a legend.
“Since I’ve come away from that and gone to Rangers, I’ve seen that mentality and played for another big club, the importance of playing for that club and winning every game, that mentality, the standards and demands.
“You have to win and bring silverware, otherwise it’s not good enough. When you actually achieve that and the feeling you get from that, wow man. I wish I had that earlier on in my career.
"If Harry Kane wants that and wants to win trophies then it looks like he has to go.
“I don’t think it will be easy for him to leave and he might be looking at it and want to finish off being the highest goalscorer in the club’s history and see where that takes him.
“He can hopefully win a few trophies, but if he’s really craving medals then he really has to go.”
The 38-year-old is out of contract in the summer and he's played more of a peripheral role at Rangers this season.
Some niggling injuries have limited Defoe to 11 Premiership appearances and two goals, but he isn't expecting to hang up his boots in the summer.
The veteran explained: "I’ve had this discussion with a few senior lads at the club, you speak about what you’re doing.
"The big thing for me, this season has been so different with no fans in the stadium, if any player was thinking of finishing… to play a season without fans it’s like training games.
“It would be hard to finish with no fans. I’ll listen to my body as well and see how I feel.
“This season, I’ve only had a couple of injuries, nothing major. I’m quite relaxed about it. I want to play another season in front of the fans.
“This season has been special, I don’t know how I’ll top that. Just a personal one to finish in front of the fans.”
