Harry Kane insists he is happy at Tottenham but revealed the club need to start winning trophies to match his ambitions.
The England international has been regularly linked with a move to Real Madrid and Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has even revealed the club will be powerless in preventing the striker from moving to Spain.
Pochettino has called on Kane to emulate Francesco Totti’s career at Roma and the 24-year-old has suggested he would be more than willing to stay at Tottenham his whole career as long as they match his ambition on the pitch.
“We’ve been close in the league the last couple of years, but the aim of the game is to win trophies and that’s what we’ve got to try and do,” The Daily Telegraph quote Kane as saying after Sunday’s FA Cup third round win over AFC Wimbledon.
“We’re still in the Champions League and the FA Cup and we know Champions League will be tough so the FA Cup is one we have a good chance in. We’ll be one of the favourites.
“We want to win a trophy somehow and the FA Cup is a competition we’re looking at to do that. It’s always been a fantastic competition and obviously there’s been a lot of talk over the years about people resting players but that's just the nature of the game now – there’s so many games and squads are so good, you can rest players, so for us whatever the gaffer chooses we’ll be ready to play.
“I think this year especially with the league, kind of being out of contention – of course we want to finish in the top four, but there’s a chance for us to win a competition so we’ll see.
“Obviously once the Champions League starts there’s going to be a lot of games, but I think we’ve got a good enough squad to rotate like we did at the weekend, not everyone but a few here and there and get the job done.”
Tottenham haven’t lifted any silverware since winning the 2008 League Cup final but have come close to winning the Premier League in each of the last two seasons.
Kane has developed into one of the best strikers in Europe over the last 12 months and even ended 2017 by breaking Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of most goals in a calendar year with successive hat-tricks.
In fact, only Lionel Messi (40 in 38 games) scored more goals in Europe’s top five leagues in 2017 than Kane (39 goals in 36 goals).
