Harry Kane’s survival at Tottenham Hotspur makes Manchester City no longer a strong candidate to win the Premier League. Unless City have a backup plan.
Manchester City’s mission to get Harry Kane has certainly failed, after the England striker decided to stay at Tottenham Hotspur. Man City are the only serious bidders, with a number of offers this summer rejected by Tottenham CEO Daniel Levy.
The failure to recruit Harry Kane is considered a big hole in the Manchester City squad. Currently the reigning Premier League champions do not have a center forward they can rely on to score goals, after the departure of Sergio Aguero this summer.
Indeed, there is still the name Gabriel Jesus. But the Brazilian is now much more enjoying playing in wide areas than being a number nine.
The failure to recruit Harry Kane is considered to have made Manchester City now have a game dimension and options that are not wide enough. Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp predicts a more difficult season for Pep Guardiola’s side, especially with supporters returning to the stadium.
“I just got the impression that this season with the crowd back, it will be more difficult than ever to win away games. There will be more pressure for you to attack and there will be that push,” he said in a column on Sunday. Sky Sports.
“I think it’s a big blow for them, but they have to have a back-up plan. It’s good news for Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, because I think practically everyone in football thinks that if Kane goes to City, they might as well lift the trophy. .”
“But Kane staying at Spurs gives a very different perspective to the whole season. It doesn’t make Man City the standout favorite anymore,” added Jamie Redknapp.
