Daniel Levy has been urged to spend any money raised by the possible sale of Harry Kane on the signings of Ivan Toney, Danny Ings and Wilfried Zaha by former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp and player Darren Bent. Kane has been heavily linked with Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City in recent weeks, with speculation over his immediate future heating up amid reports that the 27-year-old has recently informed Spurs of his desire to leave the club this summer.

He has played a pivotal role in north London once again this season, leading the attacking charge with 36 goals and assists from 33 Premier League appearances.

However, the England captain is understood to be keen on seeking a new challenge as a result of Tottenham’s lack of silverware.

Kane has been patient with his present employers for a number of years, but the Walthamstow native has never attempted to hide his desire to compete for trophies and looks set to finally give up on his current predicament.

Levy will be determined to keep hold of his star man at all costs unless United, Chelsea or City are prepared to match his reported £150million valuation.

Although Kane’s departure would leave a monumental hole at the top of the pitch for Spurs, his eye-watering asking price would provide the club with the necessary funds to reshape their attack with a number of promising additions.

Redknapp, who spent four years in charge at Tottenham between 2008 and 2012, has suggested that Levy could pursue Brentford’s 31-goal striker Ivan Toney if his lack of Premier League experience can be overlooked.

He also highlighted Danny Ings as a potential replacement for Kane, but conceded that Spurs are highly unlikely to find any player in world football capable of living up to the latter’s reputation.

Redknapp told talkSPORT: “Are you going to take a gamble? Are you going to go for someone like the lad at Brentford?

“There is no guarantee he can score at the top level. There are not an awful lot of [available] centre-forwards. Jamie Vardy is at Leicester, he’s not going to move, who is there that you could take to Tottenham and fill Harry Kane’s boots?

“Danny Ings is a good player, I love him. He’s a good goalscorer. I’m not being disrespectful to Danny, as good as he is, he isn’t Harry Kane.

“So you’re not going to strengthen the team by bringing him in, there is no one you can bring in who will strengthen the team.

“They could go out and spend the money, get three or four good players in different positions, get another central defender, maybe get another frontman, get the best out of Dele Alli, get him back playing the way we know he can.

“Get three or four players that will strengthen the team in several positions.”

Redknapp’s comments were echoed by Bent, who issued another call for Spurs to weigh up a move for Ings before throwing Wilfried Zaha’s name into the ring.

The Crystal Palace wide man has long been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, but with an extra £150m to spend in the event that Kane is sold, Levy could fancy his chances of landing the 28-year-old this summer.

“You’re going to have to start getting goals from other areas,” added Bent. “I’ve spoken about Danny Ings, he’s not a direct replacement, but he’ll get you goals.

“[Spurs need] someone like Wilfried Zaha. Get him in the squad, you’d be able to get him if you’ve got £150m to spend. You’ll have to add additions all over the Spurs team, we’ve seen them try that before and they failed miserably.

“Recruitment could be better this time around. Zaha and Ings would be a good start.”
