5 reasons why Harry Kane will leave Tottenham Hotspur in the near future
Harry Kane hit new heights in 2017 - he broke Alan Shearer's Premier League record of goals scored in a calendar year - a record which has stood for 22 years - as the Englishman finished the year with 39 league goals.
He has also become Tottenham's all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League, eclipsing Teddy Sheringham's tally of 97 goals just this past weekend, as he netted a brace vs Everton at Wembley.
The English striker is hot property, and is arguably the best striker in world football at the moment. In fact, keeping recent form in mind, he isn't far behind the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
When you thrust Harry Kane into that bracket of players, one thing stands out straight away, trophies. Kane is yet to lift silverware with the North London club and understandably, he won't wait around forever.
That being said, here are 5 reasons why he will depart Tottenham sooner, rather than later:
#5 Lack of silverware
Harry Kane, like any other player, wants to win trophies, and a player of his quality should be winning trophies every season. However, he is yet to lift a trophy since his breakthrough at his boyhood club despite his record-breaking goalscoring exploits.
Unfortunately for Tottenham supporters and for Kane himself, it doesn't seem likely that this season will end in glory. Already knocked out of the Carabao Cup and a cut adrift of runaway leaders Manchester City in the Premier League, that just leaves the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
Their performance in Europe's elite competition this season has been impressive - they topped a group that included both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund - but to suggest they can go all the way and win it would be a stretch, considering they've never previously escaped from the group stage and face a difficult last-16 tie against Italian giants Juventus.
The FA Cup, on the other hand, is an easier competition for Tottenham to win (as compared to the UEFA Champions League), but they will face stiff competition from other English giants like Chelsea, Liverpool, and the two Manchester clubs, who are also still very much a part of the competition.
