Ledley King believes Tottenham can match Harry Kane’s ambition as the striker’s future remains in the balance.
Kane wants to leave this summer in order to win trophies but the club have no plans to sell him and Manchester City have previously indicated they are not prepared to offer the sort of money that could tempt Spurs to change their mind.
They remain interested and it is a saga that looks set to run the course of the transfer window – spiced up by City visiting Spurs on the opening weekend of the Premier League campaign.
Kane, who turned 28 this week, is still on holiday following his Euro 2020 exertions and will be keen to hear the club’s vision following the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo this summer.
There is a big overhaul taking place as a stale squad is refreshed and Nuno’s remit will be to take the club back to the top table of English football, where they were previously under Mauricio Pochettino.
King was not drawn on Kane’s future, but insists Spurs are ambitious.
“We know he is one of the best strikers in the world. Harry is ambitious and I know the club is very ambitious,” he told the PA news agency at a McDonald’s Fun Football Festival in London.
“That is as far as it goes, I wouldn’t like to say what is going to happen next, all I know is the club is very ambitious and Harry is himself, so that’s it.”
