Harry Kane's departure from Tottenham is "inevitable", according to former West Ham player Tony Cottee.

The Spurs talisman has reiterated his stance that an exit from his boyhood club is possible should his career aims not appear achievable.

Standard Sport understands that Kane is a transfer target for United , the England captain firmly of interest should he become available, and Cottee senses an exit could come sooner rather than later despite Tottenham's assertion on the contrary.

"I think there will come a time when he says, 'I've done as much as I can, I've scored lots of goals for Spurs but for many, many reasons it's not happened'," the former West Ham, Everton, Leicester and England striker told Sky Sports News.

"Everything is in place there. They've got a great stadium, great club, great fans etc. but they haven't won anything. That's what Harry will want to taste before he finishes his career.

"You want that feeling of winning the Premier League or Champions League and at the moment I can't see him doing that at Spurs.

"I think it's inevitable, if it doesn't happen in the next year or so, I think Harry will leave - probably next summer."
