Harry Kane is Real Madrid's 'new priority target' this summer

Tottenham star Harry Kane is Real Madrid's 'new priority target' this summer, according to stunning reports.

Kane has been the subject of intense transfer speculation ahead of his contract expiring in the summer of 2024.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich, among other clubs, have been strongly linked with the player who turns 30 in July.

But it appears another European giant are keeping tabs on the England international, with bombshell reports claiming Real have made him their 'new priority target' this summer.

The La Liga giants are poised to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund and are thought to want his international colleague at the Bernabeu, too.

Marca claim Real want to sign Kane, with Karim Benzema reportedly on the verge of leaving the club following his legendary spell.

The Spanish team, though, face stiff competition from the likes of Man United and Bayern, who are understood to be keeping tabs on the Spurs forward ahead of tabling an official bid.

Kane, who scored an impressive 30 goals in the Premier League this season, has been courted by the Red Devils as Erik ten Hag looks to snap up a new No.9 in the summer.

Former Man United captain Roy Keane believes his old side should 'go all out' for Kane.

"I wouldn't be so sure about Mount. They're going to be linked with lots of players but the one that would excite you is Kane," he said.

"Mount has just gone off the boil a little but I know he's bounced back and he's got quality.

"I was raving about him a few years ago but he's just gone missing the last year - a few injuries, the fact he can't get in a bad Chelsea team. I wouldn't be hanging my hat too much on him in terms of improving United and closing the gap.

"He's a good player but would he improved Man United? I'm not so sure."

Keane added: "I think Rice would be a decent signing, but in terms of the excitement and the goalscoring, you'd go all out for Kane. But can you see Spurs selling him to Man United? Very, very difficult."
