Harry Kane urged by ex-Spurs coach to snub Bayern and end profession at Tottenham
The England captain’s future has come beneath fixed scrutiny this summer season and Kane has commonly been linked with a transfer to Manchester United or Bayern Munich.
Spurs are insistent they won’t promote their star participant, regardless of him coming into the final 12 months of his contract, and Toure thinks Kane ought to finish his profession at his boyhood membership.
Toure has had the prospect to witness Kane at shut quarters throughout his spell on the academy’s teaching workers and recognises his star high quality.
“Harry Kane is a brilliant player and a brilliant leader,” the 40-year-old, who has just taken a coaching job at Standard Liege, informed the PA news company.
“For me I hope he is going to stay at Tottenham. What he did last season was incredible.
“I hope he is going to stay, being involved with the staff I can see how familiar they are, they all believe in each other. He came from the academy, he is different. He is not like [Sergio] Aguero, who came in from Atletico, he is at home.
“I hope he is going to stay because he is a good player. Why not retire there, like [Paolo] Maldini or [Steven] Gerrard did at Liverpool? If he does that it is going to be very significant.”
Spurs’ lack of ability to win a trophy over the past 15 years has been the principle cause why Kane has been linked with a transfer away. But Toure believes the membership is about up for fulfillment and Kane is integral to that.
“Tottenham have everything to be successful, when you see the stadium and facilities, they are brilliant,” he added.
“What’s left now? Maybe change players, I don’t know. But the competitiveness of the league, you have to match that. What Manchester City are doing, you have to match that if you want to win.
“That is what I learned when I was at top clubs, week in week out, try to improve the club to be successful.
“I hope and believe that if Harry Kane stays, new players will join, the club will be improving and better and they will be able to challenge for something.”

Before Toure heads to Belgium to start at Standard Liege, he’ll first put his teaching expertise to make use of on the launch of Amazon’s Prime Day, as a Prime buyer can purchase a personal teaching session for them and three pals.
He stated: “I couldn’t stay away from coaching in the UK for long, but this is a fun one. Amazon approached me because like them, I’m known for reliable delivery, so for Prime Day I’m going to be working with a group of football fans to give them a training session and show them a thing or two.
“With the new season coming up, I’ll look to put them through their paces with knowledge I’ve gained through my years at clubs such as Barcelona and Manchester City.
“It’ll be one last training session in England for a while.”
