Next summer, Manchester United will enter the transfer market with the most important plan being to strengthen the attack with a top-class central striker. In recent times, the Red Devils have mainly been linked with Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen. And according to British media, Kane will be the preferred option by coach Erik Ten Hag to recruit.
The contract between Kane and Tottenham Hotspur will officially expire in June 2024, but chairman Daniel Levy is still said to want to earn around £ 100 million from this deal. With Man Utd, many sources said they are ready to break the club’s transfer record to recruit Kane, but at the same time, to be more certain, they also want to use Dean Henderson as a ‘scapegoat’ to convince Spurs to release . People.
Man Utd want to ‘sacrifice’ Henderson.
Despite impressing at Nottingham Forest before his injury, Henderson was not part of Ten Hag’s plans. Instead, the Dutch strategist is aiming for other quality options to replace David De Gea in the long term, for example in the case of Diogo Costa. Therefore, the departure of Henderson will generally not bring any negative impact to Man Utd.
As for Spurs, they certainly will not want to keep Kane until the end and then face the prospect of losing this star in the summer of 2024. But with chairman Daniel Levy always likes to make it difficult for his partners on the table. In negotiations, the presence of Dean Henderson will help Man Utd “breathe” a bit. Perhaps, the Tottenham side has just given the Reds the green light.
Tottenham also want Henderson.
The latest report from ESPN says that Tottenham Hotspur have plans to upgrade the goalkeeper position in the summer transfer window, in the context that they need a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris, and the French star himself. also failed to maintain their form this season. Notably, one of the names on Tottenham’s target list is Henderson.
It is known that Henderson is one of four goalkeepers being targeted by Tottenham, along with Jordan Pickford, David Raya and Diogo Costa. The commonality of these three names comes from the fact that they are all number one goalkeepers of the host club – Everton, Brentford and Porto respectively, so it will certainly take Spurs a lot of time to deploy their strategy. tomb.
Instead, accepting an offer with Henderson from Man Utd will help Tottenham quickly solve the problem in the goalkeeper position, directly creating conditions for them to strengthen other areas. On top of that, Spurs also have to find the most suitable striker to fill the void left by Kane, because they don’t have any high-class central strikers in the squad.
Kane moves closer to Man Utd.
Overall, if Tottenham really put Henderson in their sights, then it can be said that Kane has taken another step towards Old Trafford.
