Manchester City was unable to sign Harry Kane during the summer transfer window, and Dimitar Berbatov feels it will remain on his mind.
Dimitar Berbatov, a former Manchester United striker, feels Harry Kane would be unhappy that he did not clinch a summer move to Manchester City.
The England captain, who scored in all three of the Three Lions' 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers during the international break earlier this month, was at the top of the City's wish list during the summer transfer window as the club sought a replacement for the departing Sergio Aguero.
Though Pep Guardiola very very open and honest about his desire to land the England international Kane, The former Premier League champions Man City was unable to secure the signature of the top striker, with Tottenham Hotspur refusing to budge on the huge valuation of their talisman. Manchester City will be looking forward to their next Premier Lague clash which will make it the fifth consecutive win in all competitions when they welcome Southampton to the City of Manchester Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Although Kane confirmed his intention to stay at Spurs and give his all for the north Londoners ahead of the transfer window closing, Berbatov, a former Tottenham player himself, believes the England striker will still be aiming about a move away from the London club, what life could have been like playing for Pep Guardiola's side.
Berbatov started to Betfair: "Spurs had a strong start to the season before losing to teams they should have beaten.
Last Saturday, Nuno Espirito Santo's squad was thrashed by Crystal Palace. It was vexing because these are the games Spurs must win if they are to advance this season - 1-0, 2-0, whatever. Simply obtain the three points.
Although Kane confirmed his intention to stay at Spurs and give his all for the north Londoners ahead of the transfer window closing, Berbatov, a former Tottenham player himself, still strongly believes that the Tottenham forward will still be thinking about what life could have been like playing for the former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola's side.
Former Man United Striker Berbatov told Betfair: 'Tottenham Hotspurs had a terrific start to the current season before losing three-points to opponents they should have beaten.'
Trust me, I've been in Kane's shoes, and he's going through a lot of emotions right now. He'll be wondering to himself, 'What if that move had happened and I was now playing for City?'
He must maintain his mental fortitude because he is one of the finest in the world. When he begins scoring, he will leave the summer behind him and focus only on his performance for the Spurs.
Despite failing to sign a striker during the summer, City has scored 17 goals in their past four matches, including six in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League encounter with RB Leipzig.
Despite failing to acquire a striker in the summer, Manchester City scored six goals in their Champions League triumph over RB Leipzig, according to Berbatov. Yes, the former English Primer League title winner Man City let up three goals, but it doesn't matter when you're burying them at the other end.
