Tottenham Hotspur fans have received a huge bout of reassurance after hearing the statements delivered by their star forward, Harry Kane. “I dreamed of playing for Spurs since I was a boy. For a long time, my motivation was simply to close my eyes and picture myself scoring against Arsenal in the Premier League. Done that a few times now, and it never gets old. But now, my motivation is a bit different. Now, I close my eyes and I picture myself lifting the Premier League trophy at our new stadium with my mates. I’d trade the next 100 goals for that feeling. We’ve been close the past few seasons, but there’s only one way to close the gap – and I’m afraid it’s quite a boring answer. As my dad would say, we’ve gotta keep working, keep doing. Keep getting on with it.”
The 24-year-old’s future has been speculated over a lot in recent times and it looked like a move to Spain was beckoning after interests from Real Madrid started pouring in heavily over the January transfer window. The Galacticos are on the hunt for their next leading superstar to succeed Cristiano Ronaldo in the Santiago Bernabeu and had pegged Kane to be one of the candidates. But judging by the Englishman’s words, the European Champions will have to look elsewhere at least in the near future.
Kane is the best striker in England right now and has just boosted his goal tally to a 100 in the Premier League with a goal against Liverpool in the 2-2 draw last Saturday. A product of the Tottenham academy and a regular starter for the national team, Kane has racked up an inspiring 31 goals in 32 total appearances this season and is the first player to break Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s two-way monopoly over the highest goal-getters in a single year in 2017.
With bags of talent and ambition inside an athletic 6 feet figure, Kane is the golden boy who has emerged from the youth ranks and has propelled Tottenham to turn into a serious title-contending side over the past few years.
If he has decided to commit his future to a club in hopes of lifting the top-flight league title one day, this is a monumental juncture in the North London club’s history and a moment that will eventually reward them ten folds. With Mauricio Pochettino at the helm and the squad stacked with young and like-minded individuals, the Spurs are highly favoured to become the Champions of England over the next couple of seasons.
However, matching strides with the other top-pedigree teams have been a tough ordeal this season and we have seen time and time again, ambitious young players run out their contracts in hopes of winning more silverware but end up never doing so. If Kane wants to take over the throne as one of the best players of the world, the stage has been set and it is now up to him to lead his team to an era glittered with prestigious trophies.
