'He’s not worth £160m' - Man City warned against signing Kane

The Spurs skipper heavily linked with a move to the Etihad s and is supposedly hell-bent on leaving his boyhood club.

Harry Kane might be one of the world’s best strikers but he’s “not worth £160million”, insists Darren Bent.

Kane stirred up controversy by failing to report for Tottenham training after his summer holiday with the intention of forcing a move away from the club.

Frustrated with the lack of a single winners’ medal on his CV and the club’s ambition, the 28-year-old is said to be actively searching for pastures new.

A hefty £160 million price tag has reportedly been set on the 2020-21 Premier League Golden Boot winner, whose current contract will last until 2024.

“Harry Kane is one of the best centre-forward in the world, but he’s not worth £160million,” Bent told talkSPORT.

“He’s 28 years old now, he has had injuries… what are you going to get out of him, four or five years? I just dont think it justifies that much money.

“Man City have got the money to do it, but Pep Guardiola and the owners are probably thinking, ‘no, £160m is too much’.

“Maybe £100m or £120m, that’s more realistic for Harry Kane.

“But if Daniel Levy is saying he wants £140m, £150m, £160m and Manchester City are not prepared to pay that, no one is going to pay that. And then Harry is going to have to stay and play.”
