Tottenham Hotspur are looking for potential Harry Kane’s replacements, with the England international eyeing an exit ahead of the summer transfer window.

They have been linked with Southampton striker Danny Ings, and the fact that he has just a year left on his current contract should make a deal easier.

The 28-year-old has scored 41 Premier League goals since joining the Saints and could be a fine short-term replacement for Kane at N17.

However, it does not appear that Southampton are keen to do business with Spurs, and they might have to look elsewhere for the quality striker they want.

According to talkSPORT’s Alex Crook, a senior figure at St Mary’s told him Ings would only join Tottenham over his dead body.

“I worry about Tottenham. If they lose Harry Kane they look a very average team.”
