"Be the best football player in the world that you deserve to be" - Spiderman actor Tom Holland urges PL star to leave and join Real Madrid
Spiderman actor Tom Holland has urged Tottenham Hotspur star duo Harry Kane and Son Heung Min to join Real Madrid.
The English actor told SPORTbible what he would say if he could send a memo to Kane:
"I'd say go to Madrid. Go and be the best football player in the world that you deserve to be."
Kane's future is uncertain this summer, as he has just a year left in his contract. Real Madrid were linked with a move for the English frontman after Karim Benzema decided to join Saudi champions Al Ittihad.
However, Los Blancos have now switched their focus to Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe. Their pursuit of Kane looks to have ended, which will seemingly frustrate Holland.
The Uncharted actor was also asked who his favourite player is, and he chose Son. He wants the South Korean attacker and Kane to head to the Santiago Bernabeu to win the UEFA Champions League:
"Son, and I'd say go with him. Go together! Go and win the Champions League together please!"
Kane and Son have been vital for Tottenham over the years, so their departures would be massively detrimental. The England captain ended the recently concluded season with 32 goals in 49 games across competitions.
Meanwhile, the South Korean international had an underwhelming campaign by his standards, managing 14 goals and six assists in 47 games across competitions.
Son, 30, won the Golden Boot alongside Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah in the 2021-22 campaign. The duo finished with 24 goals in 45 Premier League games. Kane, 29, has won the Golden Boot twice, scoring 23 goals in 35 games in 2020-21 and 21 goals in 34 games in 2014-15.
However, the cobwebs continue to spread on Tottenham's lack of trophy success despite the attacking duo's brilliance. Spurs haven't won a trophy since 2008, so many desire the pair to go elsewhere to achieve success.
Gary Lineker reckons Jude Bellingham's maturity will help him at Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham has become the second most expensive signing in Real Madrid's history. The English teenager has joined the La Liga giants from Borussia Dortmund for €103 million.
The 19-year-old has a ton of pressure on his shoulders, but he showed maturity beyond his years while at Dortmund. He became the youngest captain in Bundesliga history last season.
Tottenham and Barcelona icon Gary Lineker has backed Bellingham to do well at the Bernabeu because of his mental strength. He alluded to the teenager's leadership qualities, telling La Liga's website:
"It’s a fabulous move for Jude Bellingham. He is clearly incredibly mature, captaining a club like Dortmund in his teens. I think this is a good step for him."
Lineker went on to express his intrigue in following how Bellingham performs at Real Madrid:
"You look at the players they’ve got there, and some of the youngsters that will come through alongside Jude Bellingham, who is a real leader. I think it’s going to be really interesting to follow.”
The English midfielder impressed last season, scoring 14 goals and providing seven assists in 42 games across competitions. He's quickly becoming one of Europe's most admired midfield talents.
