Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino should look to secure mega Kane transfer

 The unthinkable for Spurs supporters. But with Mauricio Pochettino set to be appointed as Chelsea's new permanent head coach in time for the 2023/24 season, is there a possibility for an extraordinary reunion between the manager and striker?


Pochettino and Kane are said to have enjoyed a brilliant working relationship with each other in their five years together at Tottenham. Tim Sherwood was the man who handed Kane his Spurs debut but it was Pochettino who arguably helped turn him into the world-class striker he is today.

Chelsea of course are looking for that player who can go and score 25 to 30 goals a season. Kai Havertz has just seven Premier League goals this season and he is the club's top scorer in the top-flight. That's simply not good enough – and it's not like the goals have been shared around too much either.

Next on the list is Raheem Sterling whose brace on Saturday against Nottingham Forest means he is now on six goals for the season. Then it's Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount and Joao Felix on three goals. Chelsea have scored 36 goals in 35 Premier League games, just over one per match.

The Gabonese striker was meant to be that player to convert the majority of opportunities the Chelsea attack create. So the hunt for that goal-scoring No.9 continues and who better for that than Kane?

The 29-year-old has 210 Premier League goals in 315 appearances for Spurs. Kane has won three Golden Boots in the top-flight but for all of his personal accolades, he is still yet to win a major honour with Tottenham.

Of course, with the way Chelsea are playing at the moment, there's no sign they will be adding to their trophy cabinet anytime soon but if Kane can come in and be the poster boy for the owners' long-term project, they would be well on their way. Pochettino would surely love a reunion with Kane to start off his Chelsea career.

Just think of some of the opportunities Chelsea have had this season – imagine Kane on the end of them. The Blues would be multiple positions better off in the Premier League than they are right now and we would be talking a lot differently about the side.
