Harry Kane has been warned that he could end his career without any silverware unless he leaves Tottenham. The 29-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer but, with the Lilywhites eager to hold onto the striker, Pep Guardiola's side signed Erling Haaland instead.
With his contract at Spurs set to expire in 2024, Kane has been subject to growing interest in his signature. According to ESPN, the Tottenham captain is a priority target for Manchester United alongside Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko.
However, the report states that Erik ten Hag's side will only launch a move for Kane if the striker opts against penning a new deal in N17. Despite interest from the Red Devils, the England international has been advised to join Chelsea instead.

Speaking to Betfred, as quoted by The Express, Glen Johnson claimed that while any side would improve after signing Kane, Chelsea could benefit the most. The former Blues defender said: "I think pretty much any team would benefit from signing him. Who needs him most right now? Probably Chelsea.
"Making a move from Tottenham to Chelsea is a big call but I can't really see him ending up there if I’m being honest. Let’s face it, if he stays at Tottenham then he’s not winning anything and it would be a shame for a player of his ability to have a career where he doesn’t win anything.
"He’s a legend at Tottenham, so would he want to ruin his status by moving to another team in London? I’m not sure. It would probably be easier for him to move to a club outside of London."
In the summer, Antonio Conte encouraged Kane to sign a new contract at Tottenham. The Spurs boss, who himself could be set to leave in the summer once his own contract expires, said: "You know very well that you create the perfect time [for a contract extension] with a project.
"If also the player understands that there is a right process, that everybody is going in the same direction, I think every single player wants to see this. And I think that Harry for sure is happy because he is seeing this type of situation.
"There is a vision, there is a direction and there is a unity to try to improve the team and also to improve the team at the level of his expectations."
