The England striker has been in sensational form this month, netting nine goals in just five games.

Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood recently suggested Kane would leave the club if they fail to win a major trophy this season.

But Redknapp, who managed the club between 2008 and 2012, believes Kane has everything he needs at Tottenham.

"I don't see why he should leave, he'll be captain eventually, he's loved there," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

"He's come from the youth team, at a great club, great training ground, with a great stadium when the new one is done."

Last December, Kane signed a new deal with Tottenham reported to be worth £90,000-per-week - plus up to £30,000 in bonuses - until the summer of 2022.

"The fans adore him, he's earning fantastic money, he'll go on to earn bigger money than he's on now in the future," Redknapp added.

"I'd like to see him stay there long term. He's old school, and old school meant you went to a football club as a kid and you never thought about leaving.

"That was your club. It's changed now but Harry Kane is old school so I think he'll know when he's well off and stay at Tottenham."

Redknapp believes his old club have dented their title credentials by choosing to spend a season playing at 90,000 capacity Wembley, while their White Hart Lane home is torn down and rebuilt.

"I've played Champions League with Tottenham, home advantage was massive," Redknapp said. 

"Teams came to White Hart Lane and they were scared to death. We absolutely smashed everybody up. They couldn't handle it.

"Going to Wembley, big open spaces, slower pitch, it's a different game. 

But going forward it's a great Tottenham team, I love the manager, and I think it's a team that if they had played at White Hart Lane this year they would have been my tip for the Premier League."
