Tottenham star Harry Kane has been closely linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, with reports suggesting he is Erik ten Hag's number one target - but a deal could mean What does it mean for the two clubs?
England's top scorer has spent his entire professional career at Spurs, despite having informed the club that he wants to leave in 2021.
This transfer saga ends with the striker signing a new contract, which expires in 14 months.
If he does not agree to the new terms, Tottenham will have to sell the striker in one of the next two transfer windows to avoid losing him as a free agent at the end of his contract.
And he could be the ideal signing for a United side desperate to add a goal-scoring centre-forward to their squad following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. This is what a move could mean for Spurs, United, who are currently on the rosters of both clubs and the Premier League in general.
Kane breaks all-time Premier League record
Perhaps not so controversial to begin with – a move to Manchester United would certainly make Kane the Premier League's all-time leading scorer.
The 30-year-old is currently 52 goals behind Alan Shearer's record of 260 and will likely get closer at the end of the current season.
As a player who has never particularly relied on speed or agility to succeed, Kane will need at least four or five years at the top to break the record.
He will almost certainly hit that milestone at Spurs if he stays - but he could do it a little quicker at Old Trafford. Advertisement
Richarlison's Motivation
Richarlison joined Spurs from Everton for a fee of £60m last summer, with the move intended to provide more competition for Kane as the club return to the Champions League.
The Brazilian simply has not found his footing at Spurs and is yet to score in the Premier League for the club.
However, at 25, Richarlison still has his best years ahead of him and the chance to become a mainstay for Spurs - despite the difficulties in front of goal - could boost his confidence and push him to take charge. catch the opportunity with both hands. .
Chelsea transfer boost
United are not the only club looking for a new centre-back, Chelsea are also hunting for the much-needed No.
With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seemingly set to leave Stamford Bridge and young striker David Datro Fofana yet to be confirmed in English football, the Blues need a top striker to bolster their defence. One player they have a close relationship with is Napoli star Victor Osimhen - who has also caught United's eye.
If Ten Hag's side bring in Kane as a replacement, it will increase their chances of signing the Nigerian for Chelsea - if they can convince the Serie A champions to sell.
Man Utd title platform
United are doing everything they can to ensure they finish in the top four in the Premier League this season. But Ten Hag will have higher ambitions in the future.
Speaking at his first press conference as a coach last year, the Dutchman warned Manchester City and Liverpool that 'the era may be over' - which has proven to be the case. of the following term. He hopes the signing of Kane can herald a new era for United - one that regularly sees this challenge to the Premier League title.
The England international will have to come with other additions to make that goal a reality, but a deal will have a long way to go.
