If Harry Kane is to leave North London this summer it will take a mammoth fee for Daniel Levy to even consider selling his star man.
The striker is in the news right now after reports that he would like to leave the club this summer, although football.london understands he will not angle for a move unless a bid comes in.
A huge bid would have to come from the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea or others to even tempt chairman Daniel Levy into selling and that, coupled with the financial implications of the global pandemic means that clubs interested in the England captain may attempt a player plus cash deal in a bid to convince Levy into accepting less money.
Manchester City are reportedly interested in the Premier League's top scorer but which players from the Citizens could Spurs target in a swap deal?
Gabriel Jesus
Should Spurs let Kane go in the summer they will be looking for a replacement forward. What better, then, than to swap him for one of City's current strikers?
Gabriel Jesus has struggled to consistently hold down a starting spot under Pep Guardiola with the Spanish boss preferring Sergio Aguero, or more recently one of City's midfielders at false-nine over the Brazilian striker.
However, when you look at the numbers it's easy to see why Pep still values him as a key member of the champions' squad.
Jesus has netted on 81 occasions across 192 games for Manchester City, a statistic that is even more impressive when you consider his limited game time. The 24-year-old has played a total of 11,610 minutes for City, meaning he averages a goal every 143 minutes.
During his time in Manchester, he has also greatly developed his hold-up play, chipping in with 34 assists, only one less than Kane has managed in the same time frame.
Bernardo Silva
Bernardo Silva has been a superb signing for City, consistently impressing since his move from Monaco in the summer of 2017.
This may mean prising him away from Manchester may be a tough task for Daniel Levy but with Harry Kane at stake, it is a deal that City may be forced to make.
Silva has offered a unique blend of press resistance, creativity and hard work for City and has performed in a plethora of different roles, including at number eight, at number 10 and on the right flank.
The tricky midfielder has scored 35 goals and provided a further 44 assists during his stint at City and as he is starting to reach his prime, turning 27 this summer, it could be the perfect time to enquire about his services.
Nathan Ake
Tottenham have endured a somewhat difficult season at the back, shipping 41 league goals in 36 games and have often seen leads slip due to schoolboy errors in defence.
This means signing defenders could be on the agenda for Daniel Levy this summer and perhaps targetting City's Nathan Ake would be a smart piece of business if Kane is to go the other way.
Ake signed from Bournemouth last summer but has had a season to forget. A combination of the excellent form of those in front of him in the pecking order and injuries have limited him to just 13 appearances in all competitions.
However, during his time at Bournemouth, he began to establish himself as an excellent ball-playing defender, offering a cool level head to beat the opposition press and help advance his team up the pitch.
The Dutch international's exceptional reading of the game, coupled with his speed and versatility make him a promising left-sided centre-back in a back three or four.
Furthermore, Ake is 26-years-old, giving him plenty of time to develop and acquiring his services could help shore up Spurs' leaky defence.
