Tottenham striker Harry Kane urged to sign for Man City by former Liverpool FC man

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been urged to leave North London by former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson, with Man City being a possible destination.

Although City suffered yet another defeat on Sunday to fall eight points behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race, they aren't in as a big a rut as Spurs.

Despite being Champions League finalists, playing in their new stadium and making some impressive signings in the summer, things have gone very wrong very quickly at Tottenham.

They have suffered defeats to Leicester and Colchester, been humiliated 7-2 at home by Bayern Munich and lost 3-0 to Brighton in the last two weeks.

It seems clear that there is unrest at the club and Kane has been urged to leave in order to win trophies while he's still at the top of his game.

“If I was in Harry’s shoes, I would think that I can play elsewhere and have a much better chance of playing with better players and adding trophies to my cabinet,” Johnson told BetDaq.

“In a couple of years his goals could dry up at Spurs and he’d be out the door.

“There’s no loyalties in football and he has to look after himself first and foremost.

“I don’t think he’d be suited to the Spanish style of playing, so he might have to wait for Sergio Aguero to move on at City before going there, but it’s not out of the question that could happen in my opinion.

“If I was Harry, I know what I’d do, I’d be moving on for the sake of my career to win as much as I could.”
