Harry Kane's other world-class skill could be why Erik ten Hag wants him at Manchester United

Manchester United need a centre-forward this summer and Harry Kane is close to a guarantee of goals in the Premier League. Kane's record in front of goal for Tottenham is world class and he recently became the all-time record scorer for his club and country, which certainly isn't a bad achievement for a player who is yet to celebrate his 30th birthday.

The prolific scorer will be remembered as a Spurs and England great, but he now has the opportunity to make history elsewhere, as Erik ten Hag is understood to have identified Kane as his prime striker target for his rebuild.

A figure of £100million has been mooted for Kane and, while he is proven in the Premier League, that will give key club figures something to consider, with Victor Osmihen and Goncalo Ramos also on the striker shortlist.

Osmihen's goals are currently firing Napoli to their first Serie A title for over 30 years and it's possible the Nigerian could feature in the Champions League final, as the competition's draw has been kind to Luciano Spalletti's side.
