Ibrahimovic: 'Kane needs to join a big club'

Former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes that the time may be right for Harry Kane to leave Tottenham Hotspur.

Former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has told Harry Kane to consider leaving Tottenham Hotspur if he wants to win major honours.

Kane has scored 123 goals in 173 Premier League appearances for Spurs and has netted a further 38 in other competitions.

The England international has yet to get his hands on any silverware, however, and the Champions League represents Tottenham's only chance of winning a trophy this season.

Ibrahimovic, who has won countless honours during his illustrious career, believes that the time may be right for Kane to move on.

"When I was in England, I saw him play. I think he's a good striker, he's still developing," he told Bethard. "He's doing good things but I always say playing at a big club, performing good, it's different from playing in - with all due respect for Tottenham - a normal club and performing there.

"It's too different situations, because I saw players do the same thing but when they come to a big club something is different. But I think he could make it. He just needs to make the move. People remember you for what you win and in the end he needs to win.

"So if he wants to win [big trophies], yes, I think he needs to change. Because I think Tottenham have a great team, but they're not at the level to win everything even if they have a fantastic coach."

Kane was linked with a £200m move to Real Madrid last summer and is believed to still be on Los Blancos' radar.
