Harry Kane to Arsenal 'makes sense' as talk of Tottenham nightmare transfer grows

The Spurs legend has been tipped to join solve the Gunners’ striker woes

Harry Kane "suits Arsenal down to the ground", says Joe Cole, as the Tottenham legend is tipped to make a stunning move to the north London rivals.

Speculation over Kane's future has been reignited after reports emerged confirming a release clause in the striker's Bayern Munich contract.

The clause allowed Kane to leave the German giants for £64million during the recent winter window, and that figure reduces to £54m next January. There is no active release clause during the upcoming summer window.

Spurs reportedly inserted a buy-back clause in the £100m deal which saw Kane leave for Bavaria 18 months ago, but it is the other side of north London where the England captain is now being touted.

“I can see the logic with Harry Kane joining Arsenal – stranger things have happened,” former Chelsea man Cole told Paddy Power.

“He’s gone to Germany, and he’s carried on where he left off. The man just oozes goals. For Arsenal, as a footballer, he would be the perfect last piece in the jigsaw – he suits them down to the ground.

“I can’t see it, however, there’s such a wrench between the two clubs. I think it would be too much for Harry. Sol Campbell joining Arsenal from Spurs was a bit different to this, but from a football perspective, it makes a lot of sense, because he is perfect for their style of football."
