As reported by the Daily Star, Real Madrid are set to offer Tottenham Hotspur a cash-plus-player deal for their star striker Harry Kane.

What’s the story?

Harry Kane has again been in absolutely lethal form this season, scoring a magical 24 goals in 24 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

That kind of form is bound to attract the biggest and best clubs around to his services and it appears a European giant are preparing to make their move for the English striker.

The Daily Star report that Real Madrid are set to offer former Spurs favourite Gareth Bale in a cash-plus-player deal that could be worth an incredible £150m.

The paper say that while no move is expected in January, the La Liga side will pursue various options in order to sign Kane and see offering Bale, who signed for Madrid for £85m four years ago, as a key part of their strategy.

Should Spurs do the deal?

There’s no doubting that Bale was a once-in-a-generation sensation at Tottenham during his time at the club, transforming their left flank and contributing over 100 goals and assists in 203 appearances.

However, that was then, and right now Harry Kane is the man for Pochettino’s side, arguably even more important to their current fortunes than Bale ever was at his peak.

He is on his way to becoming one of, if not the best, strikers in the world, scoring an unbelievable 123 goals in 189 appearances.

If Tottenham are to ever become a side capable of competing for major honours at home and abroad, then retaining Kane must be their biggest priority, even if it means spurning the chance to re-sign Bale and huge money from the likes of Real Madrid.
