Journalist Luke Edwards has claimed that striker Harry Kane could be keen to join Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

What’s the word?

Now that the January transfer window has closed, the Red Devils will be relieved to have landed Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich as a replacement for the injured Christian Eriksen.

What's more, they may also feel as though they've pulled off some shrewd business in landing Wout Weghorst on loan until the end of the season too. However, that doesn't solve their issues up top in the long term.

With that in mind, they may be in the market for a new striker in the summer and Edwards seems to think Tottenham Hotspur star Kane could not only be on the agenda, but the Englishman could also be ready for a move too.

While speaking about it all on BBC Sounds' Transfer Gossip Daily, he said: "He'll have one year left on his contract, I think, in the summer.

"Conte might still not be there, they might have missed out on the Champions League. They could, of course, be in the Champions League.

"We will be talking about Harry Kane 100% in the summer. I have a sneaky feeling that Manchester United might come in for Harry Kane in the summer and I have a sneaky feeling that he may well want to go."

Talk about statement signing

Kane, who has a price tag of £100m, has been delivering his standard prolific goalscoring numbers this term with 16 goals in 21 Premier League games. And so, despite now being 29 years of age, he is showing no signs of slowing down.

However, he will turn 30 in the summer and as everyone knows he is still yet to win a major trophy during his career. With his contract up in 2024, next summer could be the moment to really consider his options.

Of course, the Englishman was previously keen on a move away from London – albeit to Manchester City – and so that proves that he could be prepared to leave Spurs if the right offer comes in.

Man United have of course linked heavily with Kane in recent times however the cost of the deal may prove to be a stumbling block with the Daily Star estimating that a staggering £300m may be required (including wages and a signing-on fee) to get this transfer over the line.
