Tottenham star admits players would be "happy" to see Harry Kane join Real Madrid

Tottenham's squad would be "happy" to see star-striker Harry Kane leave the club for Real Madrid this summer, according to Spurs ace Pedro Porro.

The England captain has long been linked with a move away from north London and this summer it seems like the exit rumours could actually have some weight behind them. Spurs still have no silverware to show for their efforts in the entire time Kane has been in the squad and as a result the striker is thought to have grown frustrated.

While Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is desperate to keep Kane at the club and see him work under new manager Ange Postecoglou, this summer presents the club with their last real chance to cash in on the 29-year-old before his contract expires 12 months later.

It is believed that Manchester United are also in the race for Kane's signature and could even be his preferred destination giving it would ensure he still has the chance to break Alan Shearer's Premier League all-time goal record.

However, from Levy's perspective, if he must part ways with Kane for the sake of the cash then he will do all he can to make sure the talismanic forward does not join a direct Premier League rival.

That only benefits Real Madrid and the rumours touting Kane with the bright lights of the Bernabeu have only been helped as a result of Porro's questionable comments.

Porro is quoted by the Daily Mail as confessing: "If Kane decides to go to Real Madrid we’ll be as happy as he is or more."

Spurs fans keen on keeping Kane at the club are unlikely to take too kindly to those remarks, as speculation linking the stiker with a move to Spain does not seem to be going away any time soon.

With Karim Benzema calling time on his stay in the Spanish capital, Real Madrid are on the prowl for for a big-name to replace the Frenchman and carry the burden of goal scoring for one of the biggest clubs on the planet.

Porro's claim has not exactly been backed up by other Spurs players it must be said, with fellow right-back Emerson Royal sending Kane a message with his thoughts on the England captain's future last month.

"He’s top for me, No.1 in his position," the Brazilian told Sky Sports. "I’m so happy for him. I want to play with him for a long time!"

Only time will tell if Emerson can fulfill his wish and play with Kane for years to come, but with Real Madrid lurking, it seems like wishful thinking.
