£200M KANE Former Spurs star Anderton puts huge value on Harry and says Real could turn his head
HARRY KANE is now worth up to £200million and Tottenham have to match his ambitions to keep him at the club. That is the verdict of Spurs favourite Darren Anderton, who fears Real Madrid will be an opportunity too tempting to turn down if Kane gets the chance to join them. A stunning 2017, in which Kane has scored 43 goals in 37 games, has propelled the 24-year-old hotshot into the discussion about the world’s very best players.
And Spanish giants Real are now paying close attention to another Spurs star in Kane, who made the 30-man Ballon d’or shortlist on Monday, after previously signing Luka Modric and Gareth Bale, while they are also tracking Dele Alli (left).
Anderton (above) said: “You hope he’s Tottenham through and through.
“The way Harry plays and the way he acts, it certainly looks like he’s happy where he is and hopefully he doesn’t forget that. I think he’ll want to complete his journey at Tottenham.
“He’ll want to play in that new stadium and he’ll want to be part of the Tottenham team that wins the league.
“But the club have got to go with him on that.
“If the offer comes in from say Real Madrid, it will be up to Spurs to turn it down. If you look at his age, his talent, the way he is, he’s got to be worth around £150m even £200m now.
“If they say ‘yes’, Harry will get the chance to speak to Real Madrid. And I’m sure if he walks into the Bernabeu with an opportunity to sign, he’d find it very difficult not to.
“And would you blame him? You couldn’t... absolutely not.”
