HARRY KANE making a controversial switch to Chelsea would be a “great move” for the Tottenham striker, according to Harry Redknapp.
Spurs talisman Kane is out of contract at the end of next season and has been linked with a summer exit.
The 29-year-old is thought to be a target for Manchester United.
But Redknapp has suggested a controversial switch to Tottenham’s bitter rivals Chelsea could suit Kane instead.
Mauricio Pochettino, who previously coached Kane at Spurs, is on the verge of joining the Blues as manager.
When asked about Kane’s future, Redknapp told the Beyond The Pitch podcast: “It will be interesting if Pochettino goes to Chelsea.

“That wouldn’t go down very well with the Tottenham fans, that’s for sure. But you never know if Pochettino’s there.
“I’m sure Harry got on well with him [at Spurs].
“And it’s a great move for him. I think he’s [Harry Kane] building a new house in that area.
“He’s a family man and he’d be happier not moving to the north of England or wherever he’d have to go.”

Redknapp went on to say he can’t see Kane leaving the Premier League.
The England captain is on 207 Prem strikes – just 53 behind Alan Shearer’s all-time record.
And Redknapp reckons Kane could even end up penning a new deal and staying at Spurs, where has has been since the age of 11.
Redknapp concluded: “I’ve personally got a feeling he’ll stay and sign a new contract. I may be wrong but I think he could stay at Tottenham.”
That is the same view as Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, who doesn’t believe Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will accept a bid for Kane this summer.
The Tottenham chief previously rebuffed Manchester City’s approach for Kane in the summer of 2021.
