The deal temporarily puts an end to the speculation of the striker returning to the Premier League, which had gone into hyperdrive over recent months after he entered the final year of his deal at the Allianz Stadium. Over the past few windows, reports have indicated that Tottenham were keeping themselves informed of Kane's situation, dreaming of bringing their academy graduate back home.

Former Tottenham interim boss Tim Sherwood, who was the one who first gave Kane opportunities at White Hart Lane, has now said that the Argentine's move to Old Trafford could attract the England captain to Manchester.

Below is the transcript of the conversation Redknapp had with Sherwood on the Overlap Daily: Sherwood: "I'll tell you who we might see back in the Premier League.
And I'll tell you where we might see him, in a red shirt. If Pochettino goes to Manchester United, there's more chance of Harry Kane in two years' time going there.
Redknapp: Oh, and he'll break that [Shearer's Premier League goals record]. Alan, your mate Alan Shearer won't be happy.
Sherwood: When he (Kane) signed that new deal the other day, it must have been one of the happiest days of Alan Shearer's life." Redknapp: "Really?" Sherwood: "Yeah, thinking he's out of the way. I said, 'Mate, Shearer's delighted with that.
There's still time (for Kane to return)."
