5 English players who should consider moving abroad

#3 Harry Kane

Tottenham's main striker was in sublime form in 2017

The reason for Kane to move to Europe is the simplest of everyone featured in this slideshow: his goalscoring talent is simply too good to remain in England.

Kane has transformed from a flawed but hungry forward into a truly world-class attacker. Not only a goalscorer now, his link-up play and passing range this season have been unbelievable too.

His scoring record has remained incredible also, with the 24-year-old finally getting the respect he deserves. His time at Tottenham, as successful as it has been, should be up soon.

Mauricio Pochettino has assembled a fine squad to watch on their day, but there just has not been adequate investment to take them towards the next level - where they can genuinely challenge for silverware every season.

A player of Kane's ability needs to be playing at the elite level and it does not seem as though his current club can provide this, regardless of how much he loves playing for them.

There was speculation surrounding a possible move to Manchester United but that seems completely unlikely now that Alexis Sanchez's move there is imminent. Europe's true powerhouses are where Harry should be aiming for anyway, as he's definitely good enough.

The most probable destination would potentially be Real Madrid, a well-trodden path for Tottenham's best players in recent years - Luka Modric and Gareth Bale - while the timing would suit both parties: Kane is ready to unleash his talent at the highest level as Cristiano Ronaldo is on a steep decline in form and finishing ability.

Madrid have already reportedly enquired about his availability and it's an exciting prospect to imagine Kane leading the line in Spain from potentially next season onwards. Bale has enjoyed great success since making a then world-record fee in 2013 and there's no reason why Kane cannot replicate that too.
