United will be in the market for a new striker at the end of the season and Kane is high on their shortlist alongside Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
But after failing to secure a move to Manchester City in the summer of 2021, Gerrard has urged Kane to make another push to leave Tottenham.
‘It’s an incredible penalty, it’s precise, takes the side-netting off. He’s one of the best penalty-takers in the world, that’s why it was such a surprise what happened to him in the ,’ said Gerrard, who was working as a pundit for Channel 4.
‘You’re talking about greatness, you’re talking about one of the best No.9s in the world right now and that’s the reason why every transfer window he’s ahead in terms of all the talks because, you know, maybe it is time, maybe it is time for him to move on.’
Speaking after he overtook Wayne Rooney’s record to score his 54th goal for England, Kane said: ‘I don’t like to look too far in the future but I’m 29, I’m feeling fit and strong, the best I’ve felt in my career. I hope I have many more years.

‘To break the record in the manner that he did shows the strength of his character and mentality. I couldn’t be happier for him and his family – they are lovely people. He is a brilliant professional.
‘To break the record with a lot of his career to go is an incredible achievement. The players gave him a brilliant reception afterwards, that was in response to breaking the record and what he had to recover from.
‘I can’t remember what he said but I’m sure it was a on a video as everything is videoed these days and nothing stays in house. Everybody recognised it was a special, historic moment and he deserves every bit of praise that he gets.’
