Tottenham captain Harry Kane is yet to lift a trophy with Spurs but chairman Daniel Levy insists he can lift silverware with the club.
- Levy wants to build Kane statue
- Says striker can end trophy drought
- Highlights Kane’s legend status
WHAT HAPPENED? Kane’s future is somewhat uncertain, with the captain out of contract in 2024 and yet to agree an extension. The captain has yet to win a trophy with Spurs but has become the club’s all-time top goalscorer this season. Levy has insisted there is still time for Kane to get his hands on some silverware and also says he wants to build a statue of the attacker outside Tottenham’s ground.
“He can definitely win a trophy at Spurs,” they said. Yet, having a legendary reputation is equally significant, he added during a conversation at The Cambridge Union Society. “He’s creating history by being Tottenham Hotspur’s leading scorer. I dream of seeing a statue of Harry Kane outside of our stadium one day.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Levy also discussed how Spurs’ situation has evolved since Kane first joined the squad and made it plain he is anxious to see the team win a championship.
“When we first came in to Tottenham, winning was making sure we stayed in the Premier League. As time goes on and when get more successful it was about getting into Europa league and then the Champions League. Obviously the ultimate goal is to win the trophies,” he added. “That is clearly what we are trying to do. It’s easier said than done.
“Am I happy that we haven’t won more than one trophy in the last 15 years? Absolutely not. But I also think we’ve had some fantastic times. Being in the Champions League a number of times. Despite the fact I feel sick that there’s a club in north London that’s a bit higher than us at the time, if I look back in the last five years we’ve been higher than them.”
