Micah Richards says he 'doesn't know how Harry Kane sleeps at night' having not won a trophy in his career.

England's all-time top goalscorer has plenty of individual accolades to his name. So far in his career, Kane has lifted the Premier League Golden Boot three times.

He has also been awarded the Premier League Player of the Month award on a handful of occasions but for all his success when it comes to individual honours, Kane has yet to win major trophy at club level.

The 29-year-old has finished as League Cup runner-up twice and Champions League runner-up in 2019 but again, the major trophies have eluded him – a fact that Micah Richards recently brought up on punditry duty.

Speaking to Sky Sports on Saturday night, the former Man City defender said: “Harry Kane has remained focussed on what he’s needed to do and he does what he does best and is scoring goals.

"But there’s going to be a time, especially in the summer, when he is going to have to make a decision.

"Who is the manager going to be and what are their plans going forward because a player with so much quality to have not won anything, I just don’t know how he sleeps at night."

"To not have won anything... I don't know how he sleeps at night" 😰

Richards added: “He’s an unbelievable talent and he’s got nothing to show for it apart from just the goals.

“Some people would just take the goals, he’s a Spurs legend already and what he has done has been absolutely incredible. But, at the end of your career, you want a trophy.”

Kane, who has been linked with a move away from North London for some time, can achieve his ambitions and win trophies at the club, according to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

"He can absolutely win a trophy at Spurs, but being a legend is also important," He said in an interview with the Cambridge Union debating society.

"The fact that he's the top scorer for Tottenham Hotspur, he's making history. I hope one day there is a statue of Harry Kane outside our stadium."

Levy added: "Am I happy that we haven't won more than one trophy in the last 15 years? Absolutely not. But I also think we have had some fantastic times.

"We've been in the Champions League a number of times. And despite the fact that I feel sick that there's a club in north London that's a bit higher than us at this moment in time, if I look back over the last five years we've also been above them, so that's what happens."

Thoughts on Kane's future? Does he need to move this summer?

Let us know in the comments.
