It’s just a matter of when. He’s doing what great goalscorers do, and there aren’t many better than him. “First and foremost, he’s the third player to get 200 goals. Only myself and [Wayne] Rooney have done that, so it’s a small club. “His form is as good as ever. His team’s not doing as well but his stats, that doesn’t seem to be affecting him at all. “He had a huge disappointment at the World Cup but I think he’s come back mentally stronger than ever, and that doesn’t surprise me. I’m a huge fan of his. He’s a fantastic player. “I’ve had it [the record] for such a long time that I’ve always said it’ll go one day. “I thought Rooney might have a great chance of doing it. Obviously he slowed down and then went over to America. “It’s going to go one day, so if it goes [to Kane] then I’ll be the first to shake his hand.” Meanwhile, Louis Saha has urged Manchetser United to sign Harry Kane to win the Premier League.

He has a modern way of playing, but at the same time, he’s very old school. I think he can reach higher levels, especially in terms of personal achievements because the guy can do it, and he’s a terrific guy and a great ambassador for the Premier League. I really wish he will become a Manchester United player.” Manchester United is expected to bid for Harry Kane in the summer.
