Kane need to win trophies

Rooney believes Harry Kane may leave Tottenham if they do not win a trophy in the next two years.

On the day after Kane joined him in the Premier League 100 club, Rooney described the Spurs striker as the best forward on the continent and feels Mauricio Pochettino will struggle to keep him happy if the club do not start winning silverware.

Wayne Rooney says Harry Kane is the best striker in Europe but needs to win trophies if he is to be considered one of the game’s very best

"At the moment, he is probably the best striker in Europe," Rooney said. "He can go where he wants to, he's that good. He is like a young Alan Shearer. He scores all different types of goals.

Also See:

"The problem that Tottenham are going to have is that his motivation is goals, but his motivation is going to change from goals to trophies. And if Tottenham don't win trophies in the next year, maybe two, he is going to want to move elsewhere to win trophies. That is a decision he is going to have to make in the next year or two, but Tottenham have also got to make a decision - bring more players in and have a real push to win the Premier League."
