CONTE FEELS CHELSEA TARGET IS IDEAL REPLACEMENT FOR KANE

The transfer rumors surrounding the future of Tottenham Hotspur star striker Harry Kane do not seem like they will be getting quelled anytime soon, especially with the emergence of even fresher reports. The England international striker has constantly been linked with a transfer away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and almost left the club some months ago but with the insistent of the club owner Daniel Levy against letting his star player leave the club, he was finally combined to remain at the club.

With the rumor mill once again spinning some news about his possible departure from the club, Conte has reportedly identified Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as a potential candidate to replace the England national team captain should he eventually leave the club. This is according to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, who has stated that Conte believes Osimhen suits into his style of play and would be a very appealing replacement for Kane should he decide against staying at the club. The no.10 has a contract at Tottenham until June 2024, and it is unclear if Kane will sign a new deal at Spurs. It might be that Kane only remains, if Conte himself pens new terms.

Tottenham owners will be making futurist plans right now just in case Kane makes a decision that does not favor the club, and of course, they would also include Conte in their plans if they want the manager to succeed at the club. Osimhen  23, is widely regarded as one of the hottest strikers in the football world recently given his red-hot form that he has been able to maintain so far this season and a player of his pedigree at Spurs would be a joy to watch as he is expected to fit right into Conte’s team.

Mourinho, during his time as Tottenham manager was also interested in signing Osimhen but he could not do so as the Italian Serie A giants refused to enter into any negotiations that would make them lose their star player.

MANCHESTER UNITED INTERESTED IN SPURS STAR

English Premier League giants Manchester United have started drafting out their plans to sign a new midfirkder in the summer and they want to finalize those plans as soon as possible. This time, their hunt for a new midfield star has seen them turn to Tottenham Hotspur star striker Harry Kane. It is not the first time that United will be linked to the signing of the England international striker but they have not been able to convince Spurs to let go of their prized asset.

Kane almost signed for Manchester City last summer after he went public with his desire to leave Spurs, but with the London club refusing to listen to offers for their star man, he remained at the club instead and started the new season with the rest of the squad. Although Kane could still leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer, he may not be loving to Old Trafford. However, regardless of whether he signs for United or not, or whether United retain Ralf Ragnick or not, it is certain that the Red Devils will be signing a new striker in the summer.

This was confirmed by interim boss Ralf Rangnick on Friday, with the German admitting the club would look to sign a younger version of Edinson Cavani. Cavani is expected to leave Old Trafford at the end of the campaign. He wanted to leave a year ago but ended up renewing his contract following a strong end to the season. La Liga and a return to South America are both potential options for the 34-year-old, who missed Saturday’s match with Southampton due to injury.

Cristiano Ronaldo is also said to have an uncertain future at United. Though the Portugal international has done well since returning from Juventus, he’s not entirely happy with life at the Theatre of Dreams.
