Hinting on the need for the Lily Whites to spend in the transfer market, the current sports broadcaster believes top-notch like Kane would exit a side he cannot win glories with and join a trophy-winning squad.
“I can understand the frustration of the manager,” BT Sport presenter Lineker told talkSPORT.com, “He’s done such an unbelievable job.
“I’ve been saying this about Tottenham for four years now, but this is a seminal moment for them and they’ve got to decide what they are.
“Are they just going to be a smaller club that punches above its weight occasionally? If they continue to do that, they will lose someone even as loyal as Harry Kane – because he’ll want to win things.
“You can see Pochettino’s irritations there. They’re just two or three players short of being a team who could challenge Manchester City or Liverpool, and they’ve been that for a number of years.
“They’ve got the new stadium and that’s brilliant, but you need a team to fill it. They’ve brought one or two in, but it’s probably not quite as much as they need.
“There’s a few days left and Levy is notorious for leaving it late, so we’ll see.
“I think Harry would love to spend his entire career at Tottenham,” he added, “but I also think he’s ambitious enough to want to win things.
“If it becomes a point where he sees Tottenham drift out of competitiveness, drop out of the top four and don’t sign anyone, there comes a point where you consider your options.
“If he did leave, there would be a lot of clubs after him, including the giants abroad.
“From my personal experience, I hope Tottenham win things and he never leaves, but if he does leave it would be great to see him at Barcelona or Real Madrid.”
