Tottenham’s England striker Harry Kane says that, although he loves the club, he would not rule out a move in order to increase his chance of winning titles.
Kane has lost a Champions League final and a League Cup final with the north-London club in his career but, speaking in an Instagram chat, he refused to hide his ambition.
“I love Spurs, I’ll always love Spurs. But it’s one of those things – I’ve always said if I don’t feel we’re progressing as a team or going in the right direction, then I’m not someone to just stay there for the sake of it.
“It all depends on what happens as a team and how we progress as a team. So it’s not a definite I’m going to stay there forever – but it’s not a no either.
“I’m an ambitious player, I want to improve, I want to get better, I want to become one of the top, top players,” he said.
Kane has missed several weeks with a severe hamstring injury and has had to watch as his team is in danger of not even qualifying for Europe this season and he admitted he was frustrated at Spurs’ lack of silverware.
“We have got a fantastic team but for one reason or another we haven’t been able to get the trophies… It’s a hard thing to take as a player. I want to win at everything I do so when we’re coming close and you don’t quite get there it’s hard to take and starts to build up,” he said.
