# Pundit thinks Kane should consider Liverpool switch this summer

Chris Sutton has urged Harry Kane to make a move to either Liverpool or Manchester City this summer.

The Tottenham striker has [hinted](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/mar/29/current-football-season-could-be-lost-warns-uefas-aleksander-ceferin) that his future may lie away from his current club, as he looks for a fresh challenge.

Liverpool and City are the two standout sides in the country at the moment, so both would represent a step up from Spurs.

Someone who thinks Kane should consider a move is Sutton, who told the [Monday Night Club on BBC Radio 5 Live (30/03/20)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000gwfx) about his reasoning behind it.

> Spurs are a brilliant club, but at this moment in time they are way behind the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.
>
> If one of those clubs came in for him, if you were Harry Kane you would be stupid not to go.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Kane’s pedigree may be undoubted – he has scored [181 goals in 278 appearances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Kane#Career_statistics) for Spurs – but I fear he may not be the right fit for Liverpool.

The 26-year-old isn’t what you would call a link man in the way Roberto Firmino is, often being the player finishing off moves rather than starting them. While the England striker has just [two assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/83532/History/Harry-Kane) this season, the Brazilian has [10](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/History/Roberto-Firmino).

With his lack of creativity, I don’t think Liverpool’s attack could be as effective with him in the team, failing to get the best out of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who might miss Firmino’s work rate and selflessness.

On top of that, Kane could also cost a fortune, he has a [market value](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/profil/spieler/132098) of £135m, not to mention being [injury-plagued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/verletzungen/spieler/132098) in recent years, with a hamstring issue currently keeping him sidelined.
