Good morning friends, trust we're having some awesome time here. This is the first contest I will be participating in since signing up on , and I think every newbie out there should take advantage of these giveaways to enhance their growth on the platform. Special thanks to the Workaholic Dotun for setting this one Up. Let's go!




Harry Kane no doubt is one of the best strikers in Europe currently, and though injury have kept him in the sidelines for some time now, the England forward remains a perfect goal scorer. 




Sometimes, as a football analyst, I just think Kane is not winning the trophies and accolades a player of his pedigree deserves. 




The 26 year old England Captain should be up there contending for the Ballon d'Or, but then, the limiting line of Tottenham's career is dragging him back.




Just before we continue, it is worthy of note that I point out few facts. Do you know that Harry Kane finished the league as the leading top scorer in 2016/2017 season, which helped Spurs finish second on the log. He also went on to bag the PFA fan's player of the year award. 




The coming season also saw the English striker proving he is world class and that he deserves more accolades and trophies than he was  receiving in Tottenham shirt. 




The 2017/2018 season witnessed another stellar performance from the center forward, arguably his best career campaign till date. 




That season saw him net 41 goals in 48 appearances for Spurs across all competitions. He still went on to become a runner-up the following season in the UEFA champions league.




Talk about a guy that has bagged the Premier league player of the month award 6 good times, I think that's just one behind Manchester City's Sergio Kun Aguero who has won it a record seven times. 




It won't  be complete if I fail to remind you that Kane also won the golden boot at the just concluded 2018 World Cup in Russia, after emerging as the tournament's top scorer ahead of the likes of Mbappe, C. Ronaldo and Messi. That's the guy I'm talking about. 




Is It Time To Take A Bow From Spurs?


You will agree with me that a player of Harry Kane's standard wants to have something to show off as a sign of a good career. He needs trophies! Yes, you heard me right, he needs to start winning Silverware's. 




I there is one thing I know, it is the fact that Kane's trophy cabinet is not reflecting his standard as one the best out there in Europe, and perhaps one of English most prolific forwards ever. 




However, from the look of things, such heights won't be arriving soon at Tottenham Hotspur, the England striker needs to take his prolific career somewhere else. 




In fact, with the arrival of Jose Mourinho whom is reputable for his defensive style of play, Kane is very unlikely to replicate his scoring feats when the season resumes, and hopefully he is fit. 




With Tottenham very unlikely to pick a spot in the Champions league, it's time for Kane to start considering his stay at Spurs. Life is progressive and I think he has done his best for Spurs.




What Are His Options?


There are three top clubs in Europe that comes to my mind, as regards where the English striker should be considering a possible move. They are Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG. 




What are his chances of Going to Barcelona?


When it comes to winning trophies, you cannot count out the Catalan giants. They have been on the top for over a decade now and winning trophies seem to be a ritual there.




Can Barca be a possible destination for Kane? Well, I really don't think so. The Blaugrana have been in search for a top striker that will find no difficulties in filling the boots of Luiz Suarez, whom age is no longer on his side.




Barcelona are making plans to reunite Neymar and Messi in no distant time, and they are currently hell bent on sign Lautaro Martinez from Inter Milan. Martinez have been described by many as the heir apparent to Suarez and he is just 22 years old. 




Barca still got the likes of Antonie Griezmann, Braithwaithe, Dembele and so on to deal with upfront. So I don't see Barca as a likely destination for Harry Kane.




What Are Kane's Chances of Heading To Madrid?


For some time now, Los Blancos have been combing the market for a perfect striker that can fill the boots of Christiano Ronaldo. It seems no one has been able to do that for the Spanish giants and Kane can be a good try.




However, with Zidane passionately pushing for the signature of Kylian Mbappe, who of course appears a better investment, It will be hard for Madrid to start considering a heavy fee for Kane's possible move. 




Don't forget they still got the likes of Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, Benzema, Vinisius etc to deal with Upfront. So the likelihood of Kane heading to Santiago Bernabeu is very slim and unlikely. 




What About His Chances of Heading To PSG?


Yeah, the French Club appears a perfect destination for Harry Kane. PSG wins trophies and it seems it's the only hobby they have. Of course, qualifying for the Champions league can't be a problem, So Kane got no worries of playing year in year out in Europe's top tournament. 




With Neymar Jr having been on Barcelona's radar and his desire to head back to the Camp Nou, the likelihood of PSG considering getting a replacement is high.




Also, with the French wonder kid Kylian Mbappe passionate to take his career to the next level, the possibility of keeping him in the French capital may prove hard for PSG, as Madrid continues to mount pressure for his signature. 




Also with Edison Cavani's contract expiring this summer and Icardi's loan from Inter about to hit its end, the possibility of a big hole in the attack cannot be ignored. Harry Kane is obviously a good option for the French giants and they have the financial backbone to push the strings for his signature
