In a recent report, Sky Sports stated that Manchester City have launched a £100m offer for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane this summer. It is understood that Pep Guardiola’s side are open to including players in the deal with the English forward hoping to part ways with Spurs during this summer transfer period (via Sky Sports).
Kane’s Excellent Goal-Scoring Record At The English Capital Last Season
Kane encountered another incredible season with Tottenham which ended with no silverware once again as the North London outfit struggled to find consistency on the field. The 27-year-old was by far their best player as he netted 33 goals and provided 17 assists in 49 matches for Spurs in the previous campaign on all fronts.
The London-born marksman was a valuable contributor for his team in the final third as he averaged 3.9 shots, 1.4 key passes and 1.5 dribbles per game in the 2020-21 Premier League campaign. However, he needs to work on improving his link-up play in the opposition half after he only managed to complete 69.9% of his attempted passes in the English first division (stats via whoscored).
Kane is currently playing at an elite level which makes him a necessary signing for Man City to pursue this summer as they have already lost Sergio Aguero, who joined Barcelona recently and would need to add more firepower up top in this off-season.
Will Kane Be A Dream Signing For Man City This Summer?
Kane is a natural goal-getter in the final third and has shown in recent years that he can be a good playmaker as well when leading the charge up top. He has got a great football IQ and can also score his fair share of goals via headers. An accomplished goal-scorer like Kane will be a massive coup for Man City if they can get him on board before the start of the new season.
The 57-time England international will add plenty of goals and creativity to Pep Guardiola’s attack and could go on to be a success story at the Etihad Stadium under the stewardship of a world-class manager like Pep Guardiola.
Kane could serve as an ideal replacement for Aguero and will undeniably be an upgrade over Gabriel Jesus who has struggled to be consistent for Man City in recent seasons. With all things considered, Kane will be a dream signing for the reigning Premier League champions as he could help them maintain their stranglehold in both domestic and European football in the coming years. Hence, Guardiola should consider breaking the bank to bring the Spurs centre-forward to the northwest of England this summer.
