Tottenham transfer news: Harry Kane could join Barcelona - Darren Anderton

That's the verdict of Spurs legend Darren Anderton, who thinks the lure of the top Spanish clubs could turn Kane's head.

Anderton said: "Harry's the top man at the club and the one player they can't afford to lose.

"I think he loves the club and wouldn’t want to force a move, but if Real Madrid or Barcelona come knocking, he could go.

"I think most players need to have competition to improve their game, but I don’t think Kane needs it.

"He's young and hungry and I think the fact he went out on loan so often to lower league clubs when he was younger, it's really toughened him up – especially mentally as he's got so much belief in his ability and desire to be at the top.

Dele Alli will always get frustrated, according to Darren Anderton

"He's a dream for a manager as he's always got his foot on the pedal."

Anderton is also a big fan of Kane's partner-in-crime Dele Alli - a midfielder he thinks could be the best in the Premier League.

He added: "He's such an intelligent player with great ability. I think he can definitely go on and beat Lampard's scoring record if he stays in the Premier League.

"He a fantastic player to watch, always trying different things. He loves a nutmeg and maybe he tries that too often at times.

"He does have a little edge about him that can get him in trouble, but you can't take that out of his game, or he'd then have to take his foot off the gas a little and you want him at full pelt.

"That edge is something he'll have had from a young age, coming from the lower leagues he'll have taught himself to toughen up and take big challenges.

"He's very mature for his age. He proved how much he's come on against Newcastle United. He was getting kicked all over the place, got stamped on and then gave the best possible response by scoring a goal.

"When things aren’t going well, he's always going to have that frustration about his game, as he wants to be the match winner – but when players start to man mark him or try to rile him up he will get frustrated."
