‘So frustrated’: Pundit says Tottenham star’s body language suggests imminent exit
As speculation intensifies regarding Harry Kane’s future, one former Premier League forward has identified a possible motivation for his departure.
Gabriel Agbonlahor believes Kane’s body language following Tottenham’s recent 2-2 draw against Newcastle suggested a player who feels frustrated by his team-mates’ inability to live up to his high standards.
The England star has scored 217 goals in 328 appearances for Spurs, but has no trophies to show for it.
He’s maintained his high level of performance this season with 29 goals and 16 assists in 41 matches, but Jose Mourinho’s side are currently outside the Champions League places in seventh.
reported on Friday that failure to land a spot in Europe’s elite competition will prompt the 27-year-old to push for a transfer this summer, and former Aston Villa man Agbonlahor can understand his frustration.
Speaking on , Agbonlahor said: “It does seem like as well for me the Newcastle game, I was looking at his body language walking off the pitch, he looks so frustrated that his goals didn’t get the result that he would have expected against a Newcastle team.
“He’s going to look back when he’s maybe 40, he’ll probably play to 40, they play longer nowadays these players, he won’t want to look back when he’s finished his career and he’ll go down as one of the best strikers in Premier League history, maybe even break the record of Alan Shearer, and no trophies to match it.
“Not won the Premier League, or not won the Champions League.
“I don’t think Harry Kane will want to look back and not have those trophies in his cabinet.”
Daily Mirror Assistant Editor Darren Lewis said: “It wouldn’t surprise me if at some stage Kane actually came out and said ‘I want my goals to mean something. I want to be playing in a club that can win trophies’.”
Agbonlahor responded: “I don’t think Spurs fans would hold that against him. If he came out at the end of the season and said ‘I’ve loved my time at Spurs but I want to go now. I want to win trophies. I want to go to a club that have got more chance of winning the Premier League, winning the Champions League’, I don’t think Spurs fans would hold it against him, because he can’t just keep scoring all these goals every season, and other players not stepping up to the plate.
“You look at Gareth Bale. He’s already said this season that he’s going back to Real Madrid. He’s got unfinished business there. He’s not scared to speak his mind is he, so maybe Harry Kane needs to do that now to get that move.”
