Rumour Has It: Manchester City to turn to Kane if Haaland bid fails

Manchester City will turn to Harry Kane if they cannot land Erling Haaland.

It is widely expected City will go hard to sign the Norway striker, who is being pursued by numerous big clubs.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea are all interested in the Borussia Dortmund man.

TOP STORY – KANE IN CITY’S SIGHTS

The Times reports that if City fail to win the race for Haaland’s signature they will consider making an offer for Tottenham talisman Kane.

Kane is seven years older than Haaland but has a proven Premier League goal scoring record.

City have already confirmed Sergio Aguero’s exit at the end of the season and are in the market to bolster their forward ranks.

Manchester City will consider making a bid for Harry Kane if they are unable to sign their top transfer target Erling Haaland this summer.
