‘Kane scored 30 goals last season and Spurs finished nowhere near,’ Merson told . ‘You feel sorry for Ange Postecoglou, but you’re talking about a team who might, might, get in the top four if he stays, then a team who doesn’t get in the top half if he leaves.

‘They’re 100 per cent a bottom half team if he leaves. Who is going to get the goals? They finished eighth last season. I like James Maddison, he’s a good player. But Leicester got relegated.’

confirmed on Thursday morning that Bayern and Spurs have reached an agreement on a deal worth more than €100million (£86.3m) after two failed bids.

Kane is yet to make a decision on his future, with reports suggesting that he was leaning towards staying at Spurs, but now he has a huge call to make.
