Chelsea have now been put on red alert after learning that Harry Kane has built a house close to Cobham.
That is according to the Telegraph.
So, what is the latest on Harry Kane and Chelsea? Let’s take a look…
What’s the story?
Well, it is said that Chelsea have taken note of where the 29-year-old’s new mansion is located.
Kane has commissioned the construction of a house in west London, 15 miles from Chelsea’s Cobham training ground as he enters the final 12 months of his contract at Tottenham.
While the Telegraph state that Chelsea have sat up and taken notice of this development, it is believed that no offer from Chelsea is in the pipeline.
It comes after Bayern Munich saw a £60m bid rejected for the England international earlier this week.
Kane is known to have a very close relationship with Mauricio Pochettino after making 242 appearances under the Argentine at Tottenham.
That close bond – and the location of his new mansion – has set alarm bells ringing amongst some Chelsea fans, although a move still seems quite far fetched, given his status as a club legend at Spurs.
Kane, who was recently called “amazing” by Julien Laurens on ESPN, would surely risk tarnishing his Spurs legacy were he to join the Blues – Tottenham’s London rivals.
Chelsea would be charged huge money for Kane
In our view, it isn’t even worth Chelsea trying to sign Kane this summer.
Daniel Levy has already swiftly rejected Bayern Munich’s £60m bid, and you can be sure that the 61-year-old would include a huge surplus onto the asking price if Chelsea came knocking.
The Spurs Chairman is a tough negotiator for any club to deal with, let alone Tottenham’s London rivals, and he will presumably do whatever it takes to ensure his talisman does not end up at Stamford Bridge.
With time of the essence in the summer transfer window, Chelsea should forget about Kane and focus on someone like Lautaro Martinez, Victor Osimhen or Dusan Vlahovic.
