Harry Kane is arguably the hottest property in the English striker market. The 28-year-old has scored 234 goals and provided 69 assists for Tottenham Hotspur in 368 games across competitions. A total of 171 of those strikes have come in the Premier League, leaving him 89 short of Alan Shearer's record tally of 260.
Since breaking into the Spurs first team in 2014-15, Kane has hit double figures for goals every season. However, a slow start to the current campaign means he only has five goals thus far.
Harry Kane has scored goals galore, but has no trophies to show
Considering he is nearly ten years into his professional career and has still not won a trophy, the Englishman may well be open to a move away from Spurs. With age and consistency on his side, he could contribute regularly and in his typical style of controlling games.
On that note, here's a look at five clubs Harry Kane could join this year:
#5 Manchester United
Manchester United are one of the top clubs in England and in Europe. Under the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, the club was home to some of the world's greatest strikers. Players such as Ruud van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole, Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer enjoyed successful careers with the Red Devils.
Rooney is their all-time top scorer with 253 goals, out of which 183 came in the Premier League. He scored 208 times in the Premier League, something Kane could surely have in his sight.
Rooney is also England's all-time top scorer with 53 strikes. Considering that Kane is in the race for becoming both the Premier League and England's top scorer, a move to Manchester United could be on the cards.
At the start of the season, United 'considered' a move for the striker, and might renew their interest again this year, considering their struggles up front. Achieving targets and breaking records set by those who preceded him in the famous red and white would be a dream come true for Harry Kane. However, it remains to be seen if Spurs allow their prized asset to join a direct rival.
#4 Juventus
Juventus are currently on the lookout for a striker who can fire them back to the top of Serie A in Italy, and to the summit of European football as well.
Alvaro Morata has struggled with injuries, and has not been able to string together a decent run of performances. So far this season, he has only managed eight goals and five assists across competitions.
The Spaniard seems in need of a change of scene to rediscover his form. With the World Cup fast approaching, it is imperative that he gets going soon. Barcelona have been linked with Morata recently.
Harry Kane seems like the perfect option for the Old Lady if they want to dominate Italy once again. It would provide a bigger opportunity for Kane to win trophies each season, compared to his chances of winning with Spurs. Moreover, a change of league would add to his game, which could benefit the English national team too.
The Bianconeri are currently also chasing Fiorentina hotshot Dusan Vlahovic. However, considering the hardball the player and his agent are playing, Juventus might pull the plug on the Serb's pursuit. That would leave the door open for Harry Kane. Juventus were reportedly interested in the striker's services at the start of the season.
#3 Paris Saint-Germain
Harry Kane and Mauricio Pochettino are two names Tottenham Hotspur fans will not forget in a hurry. The two nearly took Spurs to the pinnacle of European football in 2019.
The club reached their maiden UEFA Champions League final that year, losing 2-0 to Liverpool on the night. The next season, Pochettino was sacked following a run of poor results. It could have been one of the most successful periods in the club's history.
However, with the Argentine manager now at PSG, it opens up the possibility of Harry Kane moving to the Parisians. With Mauro Icardi more active off the pitch than he is on it and Kylian Mbappe in the thick of a transfer saga with Real Madrid, the club might need a new striker.
Harry Kane could help PSG become serious contenders for the Champions League title whilst solving their striker issues for the next few years. The Englishman could jump at the opportunity to play alongside Lionel Messi, Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe, provided the latter stays. Wages won't be a problem for him at PSG.
At the start of the season, the Parisians had emerged as serious contenders for the Englishman's services. It remains to be seen if they reignite their interest in Kane if Mbappe and Icardi leave Paris at the end of the season.
#2 Barcelona
Barcelona are one of the most decorated and successful clubs in world football. With their immense pull and purchasing power in the past, they attracted many established superstars over the years.
Stars like Ronaldinho, Deco, Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o joined the club and made a big impact. Considering Harry Kane is 28, he too, could arrive at Camp Nou and help the club compete for trophies again.
Barcelona as a club are hard to turn down for anybody. It would be great for Spurs if they could come up with a deal for Kane involving one of Barca's youngsters. Considering they already sold Emerson Royal to the Lilywhites last summer, the Blaugrana might be keen to do business with the Londoners.
Last year, the Blaugrana reportedly considered a summer swoop for the striker. They might rekindle that interest this summer, considering their woes up front.
#1 Manchester City
Manchester City have been the most dominant club in English football since Pep Guardiola became their manager in 2016.
They have won three Premier League titles under the Spaniard, and are the overwhelming favourites to make it four this season. City are nine points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand, at the moment.
Since their star striker Sergio Aguero left the club last summer, City have struggled to find a suitable replacement. The Argentine left as City's all-time top scorer with 260 goals in all competitions. City were linked with mega moves for both Jack Grealish and Harry Kane last summer, but only signed the former for £100 million.
Considering the team are always in the mix to win trophies, the lack of a bonafide striker in their ranks could make them dive for Harry Kane once again. His arrival would also make the club a top contender for the Champions League, which has eluded Guardiola since his Barcelona days.
