Only Real Madrid could successfully lure Harry Kane away from Tottenham, according to former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood.
Kane, who joined Tottenham at the age of 11, has established himself as one of Europe’s most feared strikers since breaking through the ranks at White Hart Lane.
The 23-year-old already has two Premier League Golden Boots to his name and has been named in the team of the season for the last three seasons.
His form has led to speculation linking him with a host of top European clubs, Manchester United being one of the most consistently occurring suitors. However Sherwood, who handed Kane his first Premier League start, believes only the Champions League holders could secure the England international.
“It would break the fans heart if he left,” Sherwood told Talksport. “The last person to come through the club was Ledley King.
“Harry’s a superstar. He will continue to score goals. He’s got everything.
“I hope he stays at Tottenham for the rest of his career… The only danger is that team across the water also in white [Real Madrid].
“Daniel Levy and Mauricio Pochettino will not want to lose Harry Kane, the only danger is if Real Madrid come and go for him as they did with [Luka] Modric and [Gareth] Bale. Then it'll be a real test for the resolve of Tottenham and whether they want to keep him or not.”
Kane signed a new contract with Tottenham in December that will tie him to the club until 2022, with Spurs acknowledging his importance to them by making him their top earner alongside club captain Hugo Lloris on around £100,000-a-week.
