'If Harry Kane has hunger for trophies he would have to leave Tottenham': Andre Villas-Boas gives damning verdict on striker's Spurs future

Harry Kane's former Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas believes the striker should leave Spurs if he craves 'trophies and notoriety'.

Villas-Boas, who was in charge of Spurs between 2012 and 2013, said that if Kane wants silverware his future will lie elsewhere.

He gave Kane his Premier League bow but disagreed with the youngster over how he could best develop, with the player unwilling to leave on loan at the start of the 2013-14 term.

It was after Villas-Boas departed in December of that campaign when Kane truly came to the fore and following four seasons of 30-plus goals for club and country, the 24-year-old has constantly found himself linked with Real Madrid.
