Musing of the Moment: Harry Kane & Tottenham

As various reports have indicated, Harry Kane apparently wants to move on to a different club.

As it normally does, The Athletic is doing some fine work on this story with all kinds of reasoned speculation where he might go if he indeed does get traded/sold to another club. 

Apparently he wants to stay in the Premier League. 

As reports indicated, Chelsea and Manchester City seem like the most logical landing spots for Kane. However, I don't Daniel Levy striking a deal with Chelsea, a North London rival of epic proportions. 

If he were to go to either of those clubs, the Spurs better get one hell of a haul in return either in players and/or lucre. 

In either case, it would be the rich getting richer as both clubs are incredibly wealthy because of their owners. 

Manchester City would be the club I would bet on him going since Aguero is no longer going to be on the squad. 

A recent reporter in The Athletic stated that he thinks the most likely scenario is that Levy doesn't move Kane at all this transfer window and instead waits until next summer's transfer window once various clubs have recovered from pandemic-induced financial straits.  

Regardless, I'd hate to see Kane playing for another club. 

However, when they picked Mourinho, they picked a gaffer who did not let the team have any kind of coherent offensive philosophy. 

For me, I don't think Levy will give in to Kane's demands, especially in such a depressed market for transfers. If he does, I suspect it will be Man City. Which pisses me off.
