“Kane will go to United, Zidane will go to PSG and Mbappé to Real Madrid”

The match between City and Tottenham was marked by the figure of Harry Kane from the pre-match to the post-match. Pep Guardiola recognized the attempts of his signing that they remained. On the green, Kane reinstated himself as the perfect option for City, scoring the two winning goals for Spurs against the leader and at home (2-3).

Hours after the match, Troy Deeney, now a Birmingham player, reviewed what the match meant for the English striker in his column in the British newspaper The Sun. “You might think that Kane came to the Etihad with some envy, but it was the opposite. […] He wanted to show that he was still Harry Kane, that people were wrong about him. When he’s fit, he’s the closest thing we’ve seen to Shearer.”

For Deeney, this will be a summer of strikers among the greats and a market in which there will be big moves. Although Kane is already old enough for football (29 years old), he insists that he has a lot of rope and goals left.

Mbappé’s move, he explains, will be the one that relaunches Kane’s move to Manchester, but to United. “I think this is what will happen. Mauricio Pochettino will leave PSG and go to Manchester United. And Kane will come with him. Zinedine Zidane will go to PSG and meet Paul Pogba there and Mbappe will go to Real Madrid. After all this, Antonio Conte will have to wisely rebuild Tottenham with the money from the sale of Kane.”

After his signing for City was frustrated, Kane exhibited a high level in his match against his suitor. The Londoner shone with his own light with a double and an exhibition of play in a game suffered by the Spurs. With these two goals he extends his account in a season in which it is costing him more to see the door. This adds 17 goals in 35 games, scoring just seven goals in the Premier League, far from disputing a Golden Boot led by Salah with 17 goals followed by Diogo Jota with 12 and Sterling with ten.
