‘If he doesn’t win anything in 12 months, he HAS to leave’: Harry Kane urged to quit boyhood club Tottenham by Alan Shearer if he endures another trophyless season
- Tottenham have had a downward slide after making the Champions League final
- Mauricio Pochettino was axed as manager and Jose Mourinho replaced him
- Alan Shearer believes Harry Kane could soon be considering his options
Alan Shearer believes Harry Kane should quit his boyhood club Tottenham if they fail to lift a trophy in the next 12 months.
After seeing Tottenham reach the Champions League final last season, Kane’s team have endured a slide. Mauricio Pochettino was sacked, Jose Mourinho replaced him and Spurs are currently eighth in the Premier League.
‘My guess is, if he doesn’t win anything in the next 12 months then he has to leave,’ Shearer said to the Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast.
Alan Shearer says Harry Kane should quit Tottenham if he has another year without a trophy
Shearer also said that he believes Kane could break his Premier League scoring record
‘He’ll do another year, I think, and if nothing comes in terms of trophies, then he’ll be off.’
Kane could also be the man to dethrone Shearer as the Premier League’s highest ever scorer.
The Spurs man has a current tally of 136 and Shearer’s record stands at 260.
‘It depends on his fitness,’ Shearer said. ‘Where he is and what success he’s had at whatever club he’s at – whether that’s at Spurs or somewhere else.
‘It’s going to be hard for him. He’s on 136 and there’s a lot of ‘ifs’ being asked; if he stays fit or if he stays in the Premier League. It’s going to be tough, but it’s going to go one day.’
Kane is currently overcoming a hamstring tear sustained against Southampton on New Year’s Day.

‘I’m at a good stage now and just working hard, doing a lot of recovery, a lot of rehab and just waiting to see what happens to the season.’
