I'm not saying he won't, but it's rare that English players do, so it should certainly be a consideration. If he doesn't fancy going abroad, it's really up to Tottenham as to whether he'll leave. If they can show ambition and win things, it's unlikely that he'll have a reason to leave to another English club. The only way I could see it happening is if Manchester United enjoy a massive resurgence, or if Manchester City have enough success in the next couple of years to become a genuine top tier club. Top british players have moved abroad since football began mate! Gary Lineker - FC Barcelona Michael Owen - Real Madrid Steve McManaman - Real Madrid Mark Hughes - FC Barcelona David Platt - Sampdoria Ray Wilkins - AC Milan Paul Gasgoigne - SS Lazio Lawrie Cunnignham - Real Madrid John Aldridge - Real Sociedad Dalian Atkinson - Real Sociedad Trevor Francis - Sampdoria Graeme Souness - Sampdoria Chris Waddle - Olympique Marseille Glenn Hoddle - AS Monaco Paul Lambert - Borussia Dortmund Steve Archibald - FC Barcelona Kevin Keegan - SV Hamburg John Charles - Juventus Gareth Bale - Real Madrid David Beckham - Real Madrid Gerry Hitchens - Internazionale Jimmy Greaves - AC Milan These off the top of my head and I’m sure if I were to search I’d find countless more. That in general there’s been a reluctance from a fair few, yes. But massive Englsih names have been brave enough to hive it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted December 27, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 27, 2017 A decent handful of those went partially due to the European fan for English clubs to be fair. This generation it has been a rare occurrence mostly because English clubs have wanted to keep British talent and have been able to as they have been elite clubs themselves. Not many players leave the top 6 in England for a step up and those that have done recently are elite, top 10 in the world players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric (arguably), Suarez, Bale all were at the time. Kane is the first English player since Beckham and Owen to really go into this category. Of course there have been others like Gerrard and Rooney that could have moved and called it a step up but the desire was never really there on their part because they wanted to stay at home in England which wasn't a factor for the likes of Ronaldo and Suarez. Whether Kane is the same time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'd like him to stay at Spurs. But if he does leave them, I'd like him to go abroad. Fuck Spain though, I'd like him to go to Juventus or some other Italian giant (ideally Milan, but Milan would need to be less disappointingly shite).

HK85 267 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think he'll join Luka and Gareth in Madrid if Spurs don't start winning trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I imagine Madrid would be after Alli first once Bale goes to tap in to a UK market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they go after Alli to tap into the UK market? Everyone who isn't a Spurs fan thinks he's a total cock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to meet one that's not a dickhead - so bringing in a total cock might actually be a plus to tap into that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
