Man City legend tells Harry Kane it is the 'right time' to leave Tottenham

Harry Kane is in the 'right moment' to join a different club this summer.

That is the verdict of Manchester City legend Pablo Zabaleta who feels the Tottenham forward is ready for a 'different experience'.

City boss Pep Guardiola has made no secret of the fact he is an admirer of the England captain who is believed to be keen on a move away from North London.

No deal has been struck as yet, though, and the 28-year-old has returned to training with Spurs today ahead of Thursday's UEFA Europa Conference League clash with Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira.

Nonetheless, Zabaleta is hopeful a deal can be done and feels Kane will prove to be the ideal replacement for the departed Sergio Aguero.

Zabaleta told the PA news agency: “We’ll see if the money is there and will splash the money for Harry Kane but will be nice to see him playing for City.

“He’s in the right moment for him to go to a different club and have a different experience, when you look at all the top teams they are looking for players who can score 25 goals a season, you always need players like that.

“Obviously Sergio (Aguero) left the club and they only have Gabriel Jesus as a proper striker but we all know the quality of Kane if you want to win trophies and (he) knows he’s done enough for Spurs and wants to move, maybe City are one of those clubs.”
