da betway： The England captain is still searching for the first silverware of his career, and history suggests he should venture out of north London to win it

da luck： Harry Kane's status as a Tottenham and Premier League legend is secure. The 29-year-old reached the 30-goal mark in the top-flight for the second time in his career this season, despite Spurs' disappointing eighth-placed finish, and is now only 47 behind Alan Shearer's all-time competition record (260).

Kane's consistency since breaking into the Tottenham first team back in 2014 has been nothing short of remarkable. He's scored 20 or more goals in six of the last eight Premier League seasons, and also proved himself in the Champions League during Mauricio Pochettino's time at the club.

Unfortunately, he has nothing to show for super-human efforts in the final third. Kane is yet to win a single piece of silverware with Tottenham, whose last major title came under Juande Ramos in the 2008 League Cup.

Kane is still under contract in north London until 2024, and is reportedly open to signing an extension. But he has also been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe, including Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Spurs have appointed Celtic boss Ante Postecoglou as Antonio Conte's permanent successor after a turbulent 12 months that also saw caretaker manager Christian Stellini sacked after just four games. Kane could yet decide to give it one more shot in Postecoglou's set-up, but he should really be pushing for a transfer. It makes little sense for him to stick around at a club still lacking a clear identity and vision for the future, and Kane certainly wouldn't be the first man to leave Tottenham and go on to achieve great things elsewhere.

GOAL takes a look at the players who toiled in vain alongside Kane at Spurs since his emergence in 2014 before finally getting their hands on silverware in new surroundings, starting with a certain Danish maestro…

Eriksen established himself among the Premier League's elite midfielders after joining Spurs from Ajax in 2013, recording a staggering 90 assists in 305 appearances. The Dane helped Tottenham to runners-up finishes in both the Premier League and Champions League, but decided to move on when Inter came calling in January 2020.

He wasn't always a starter at San Siro, but played his part in their first Scudetto triumph since 2009-10 in his first full season with the club. Unfortunately, Eriksen was released in October 2021 after being fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), which are not permitted in Serie A, following his life-threatening cardiac arrest episode at the European Championship with Denmark.

But he then returned to the Premier League for a six-month spell at Brentford, and impressed enough to attract the attention of Manchester United. Eriksen signed for the Red Devils on a free transfer last summer, and has slotted into Erik ten Hag's squad perfectly.

He added a Carabao Cup winners' medal to his CV in February, despite missing the final through injury, and also started their FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City. United are poised to fight for trophies again in 2023-24, and Eriksen will be right in the thick of the action.

Kyle Walker began his career at Sheffield United before joining Tottenham in 2009, and went on to play over 220 games for the club across all competitions. The pacey, powerful right-back eventually caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, who managed to lure Walker to Manchester City in a £50 million deal in the summer of 2017.

Walker has since amassed a grand total of 12 trophies at the Etihad Stadium, including five Premier League titles. The England international is still going strong at 33, and could make more history with City this week.

Guardiola's side will become only the second English side in history to complete the treble if they beat Inter in the Champions League final, and Walker's presence will be vital to their chances of success. The defender was always a born winner, he just didn't get the chance to reach his full potential at Spurs.

Erik Lamela divided opinion during his eight-year stay at Spurs. The Argentine was capable of moments of magic, such as his famous Rabona goal against Arsenal, but too often flattered to deceive.

It was no surprise, then, when Spurs sold him to Sevilla as part of a swap deal involving Bryan Gil ahead of the 2021-22 season. His maiden year at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan was underwhelming, and the first half of the current campaign wasn't much better as the Spanish side fell perilously close to the relegation zone.

However, Sevilla made steady progress in the Europa League, and everything clicked into place when Jose Luis Mendilibar was drafted in as head coach in March. They quickly dragged themselves out of trouble in the Spanish top-flight while claiming the scalps of Manchester United and Juventus in Europe.

Sevilla lived up to their reputation as Europa League specialists once again by making it to the final against Roma, and Lamela came on at half-time in the showpiece as Mendilbar's side battled back from a goal down to force a penalty shoot-out. Lamela was one of the Sevilla stars to step up and convert from 12 yards to seal their record-extending seventh title with a 4-1 shoot-out victory.

Incredibly, Gil also picked up a winners' medal, having joined Sevilla on loan from Tottenham in the January transfer window. There will be little incentive for him to return to London in the summer.

Much was expected of Tanguy Ndombele when he joined Tottenham from Lyon for a club-record £63 million fee in July 2019. The Frenchman emerged as one of the most exciting midfield talents in Europe at the Groupama Stadium, but was ultimately unable to transfer that form to the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho publicly criticised Ndombele's fitness levels on a number of occasions, and he also failed to impress under Nuno Espirito Santo and Conte. Spurs sent him back to Lyon on loan in January 2022, but the Ligue 1 outfit decided against making his return permanent last summer.

Another loan spell was sanctioned for 2022-23, this time at Napoli, and Ndombele's fortunes haven't improved much in Italy. The 26-year-old featured in 30 Serie A games for Luciano Spalletti's team, but only eight of those came as a starter.

Still, he will go down in history alongside the rest of Napoli's immortals after their first Scudetto triumph since way back in 1990. Ndombele is now set to return to Tottenham, but it's doubtful that he will be sticking around after his first taste of tangible success.
