Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards can't see his old club signing Harry Kane.

Reports broke on Monday claiming the Tottenham star has asked to leave the club this summer.

City, Manchester United and Chelsea have already made contact with Kane's representatives, but Richards can't see Pep Guardiola signing the England captain.

"Of course he [Kane] would work at City, he works hard and he scores goals," he said, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Would they pay £150million for him? No, they wouldn't.

They might pay £80million or £90million, but they are not going to get him for that. They would be looking for youth if they were going to spend £150million. They would go for [Erling] Haaland or [Kylian] Mbappe.

"The thing is I think Kane is a perfect suit for Man United. Him and [Edinson] Cavani up front for that one role, one play, one rest, you would have two top strikers.

"Kane would be the number one, with Cavani being managed correctly, because he is 34 and you can see the impact he can have starting, or off the bench.

"I just don't see Man City being in for him if he is going to cost £150million to be honest."
