Manchester United are plotting a move for Tottenham forward Harry Kane this summer, with the club making a new striker their ‘prime objective’. Manchester United could reportedly be open to making a move for Harry Kane to solve their striker problem.
18 months ago, Kane came very close to joining rival Manchester City, but the deal to play at the Etihad Stadium ultimately fell through. Instead, Erling Haaland, a 29-year-old striker for Spurs, would be purchased by City, and he has remained in North London.
According to rumors, United and Newcastle may both make a move for the English striker. United has previously been connected with a deal for the player. Kane’s current deal with Tottenham runs through 2024, but there is no guarantee that he will stay there past that date.
Harry Kane a hurricane all over again
Kane is a crucial part of the plans of Antonio Conte at Tottenham. Although, his desire to win a title may drive him to seek a move outside of the city. This season, the player has scored 12 goals in 15 Premier League outings.
Erik ten Hag is reportedly considering making another Ajax raid, this time for an offensive midfielder, according to The Athletic. Mohammed Kudus, a midfielder for Ghana, had a fantastic World Cup for his nation and displayed his potential there.
The club has recognized the necessity for United to sign a proven goal scorer during the summer transfer window. This is seen as the club’s top priority. United’s top priority right now is to heed manager Erik the Hag’s request for immediate reinforcements in his team’s offensive department. And Weghorst perfectly fills that need. whoever, He is merely a short-term solution.
The Netherlands international has spent this season on loan from EFL Championship leaders Burnley at Besiktas. He might sign with United this week if talks between the two clubs and United. The player as well as the player’s representation are moving quickly to find an agreement.
Ten Hag wants a center-forward with experience who can provide an alternative to the players he currently has at Old Trafford.
The 6-foot-6 Weghorst struggled to have an impact for Burnley in the Premier League last season. He scored just twice in 20 appearances. However, his World Cup performances with the Netherlands were exceptional when he received the chance. He scored twice late in a quarterfinal match against Argentina before losing on penalties, demonstrating his ability to test defense.
