Steven Gerrard makes Harry Kane trophy claim amid Tottenham star's links to Man City and Man Utd

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard believes lifting a trophy with Tottenham will mean more to Harry Kane than winning one with another club. Taking the Premier League by storm since becoming a regular in Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side, the England captain has been linked with a big-money move away from north London.

Heavily tipped to seal a transfer to Man City last summer but instead remaining in the capital with a deal not coming to fruition, talk over Kane's Spurs future doesn't look set to end any time soon. Tipped to swap Liverpool for Jose Mourinho's Chelsea during his own career, Gerrard himself feels that Kane can find happiness at Tottenham rather than opting for a short-term fix.

"I admire his loyalty to Tottenham and, of course, I’m sure it’s been tempting for him on many occasions to go and take one of those options," Gerrard explained in his pre-match press conference (via The Independent). "The Spurs fans should enjoy him and admire the loyalty he’s given them. You can see a guy who is desperate for success with Tottenham and I have a lot of admiration for that.
