Motivation may change from goals to trophies: Rooney on Kane

CAIRO – 6 February 2018: Everton player Wayne Rooney, the top scorer in the history of Manchester United and the English national team, believes that Harry Kane is likely to leave Tottenham if he does not win titles.

Speaking to Sky Sports' Monday Night Football program, Rooney said, "The problem that Tottenham are going to have is that his motivation is goals, but his motivation is going to change from goals to trophies.”

Everton’s player has even put a date on the possible departure of the captain of the Spurs. "And if Tottenham don't win trophies in the next year, maybe two, he is going to want to move elsewhere to win trophies,” Rooney stated.

The words come after Kane reached 100 goals in the Premier League, at only 24 years old.

"That is a decision he is going to have to make in the next year or two, but Tottenham have also got to make a decision – bring more players in and have a real push to win the Premier League," he added.

Terry Venables has also spoken about Kane. The former English coach and former Barcelona coach pointed out in his column in the Daily Mail that he hopes that Kane does not leave the Premier League.

"The fact that Real Madrid needs more talents to compete against Barcelona means that the World 2017 top scorer is a possible objective for Los Blancos," Venables said.

Hoping that the English attacker stays, he said, "We do not want another of the talents of the Premier to be tempted by the two greats of the Spanish League."
