By Aaron Mubanga Jnr | May 20, 2021

English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspurs striker Harry Kane says he does not want to end his career with any regrets and has reiterated his desire to win trophies “season in, season out”.

It was revealed earlier this week that Kane had told Tottenham that he wants to leave the club this summer, with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all understood to have registered their interest with his representatives.

With Kane on his way out, Interim boss Ryan Mason will be in the market for a replacement and maybe just maybe it is time they reignited their interest in Zambian man of the moment, Patson Daka.

With main sources in Europe claiming that Spurs have sent scouts to Austria with the sole purpose of monitoring the Zambian goal machine maybe just maybe the move to the English Premier League his fans back home have been crying about can finally materialize.

The Lilywhites were very much interested in acquiring the services of the 2017 CAF young player of the year in January but Salzburg decided to keep him at the Redbull Arena at least until the end of the season.

Kane has been so impressive for Tottenham this season with 22 goals and 13 assists to his name, Daka has also been just as influential for his club with 27 league goals and 7 assists to his name in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Daka, 22, has been in lethal form under Jesse Marsch this season – who is about to replace Julian Nagelsmann at RB Leipzig. The striker has scored 34 goals in 41 games this term, while also laying on an impressive 12 assists in all competitions.

Spurs will however have to be ready to fend off interest from alit of other European top suitors like AC Milan, Everton, West Ham, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and RB Leipzig who are a sister club of Salzburg are reportedly prepared to offer him a five-year deal.
