Former Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger has suggested Harry Kane should not leave Tottenham in a hurry for major silverware.

While many are suggesting Harry Kane should leave Tottenham, Arsene Wenger is one of those who want him to stay put. According to the latest report from today, the 27-year-old has been linked to Manchester City alongside neighbours Manchester United.

During the recent months, Kane’s future at Spurs has been a topic of discussion among pundits. It is quite surprising as he still has three years left on his agreement with Jose Mourinho’s side.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been showing interest in making the move for Kane during the upcoming transfer window. Moreover, the prolific striker has publicly said that he wants to win more trophies.

But despite all these aspects, Wenger believes that the England international should wait for his chance at north London.

“Tottenham are in a position where they can be ambitious and we should maybe not judge only today’s situation,” the former Arsenal manager told beIN Sports.

“Tottenham was top of the league in December. There were a few times when they were top of the league when I was still at Arsenal.”

“He is the only one who can assess the situation. A player like that is always solicited by other clubs and always has to assess his situation.”

“He was until now a real top leader at Tottenham. He’s a top leader in the English national team. I respect highly his commitment and his quality.”

“What I like today is he could play basically as a number 10 because the quality of his assists and the speed of his vision, and the execution of his speed on long balls is exceptional.”
