Ian Wright has claimed that he believes Mauricio Pochettino can convince Harry Kane to join Chelsea this summer.
He told ‘The Kelly and Wrighty show’ that the Blues would become a scary prospect I they were able to add the striker to their ranks.
Kane has again been a consistent star for Tottenham this season despite the side having a number of rough outings in recent weeks.
He found the net again at the weekend against Liverpool, however the rest of his side collapsed around him as they lost 4-3 at Anfield.
Praise has not been short coming for the England captain, with Greame Souness recently describing him as ‘world-class’.
With him being out of contract at the end of next season, there have been reports that Chelsea may look to test the waters with the sensational swoop.
Wright believes Pochettino can convince Kane
Wright has now said that the presence of his former manager could convince him to make the move to Stamford Bridge.
He said: “Can you imagine, if Pochettino went to Chelsea, with the young players he has got and the fact that he is so good with that kind of player? That progressive young player. When you look at the dressing room he has left, with respect to dealing with Neymar, Messi and Mbappe.
“The way he can manage that situation, with young players, with Harry Kane and with the players Chelsea have got. That’s scary. That could be scary for someone.
“If he had to sit down with somebody, you probably think Mauricio could tempt him there. You are talking about the legacy of Spurs. That’s the thing that would bother him, more than anything. He is loyal. Would he want to go all the way to Manchester (and leave London)?”
A striker is certainly high on the agenda in West London, it’s not out of the question that the Blues would make a move for the Englishman.
