Former Manchester City captain Richard Dunne has urged wantaway Tottenham striker Harry Kane to choose the Sky Blues this summer.

Dunne wrote for the Sunday World: "If he wants to win trophies, is there a guarantee that he will win things at United?

"If he goes to Chelsea, will he have a different manager every year and never be able to settle into a system?

"If he goes to City, he will be a starter, but he still won't be guaranteed to play every week, with the way City play – and I'm not even sure that City need a high-profile striker like that.

"If they do sign him, they'd have to make their way of playing work around Kane and make him fit in. These moves don't always work: I remember when Pep Guardiola signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Barcelona, and it never worked out. He just couldn't fit into their system, and I'm not 100 per cent sure that Kane is the type of striker that City need.

"But if he's at the stage of his career where he just wants to win things and be in major finals, he's more or less guaranteed that at Man City, as long as Guardiola stays there. So if I was advising him, I'd nudge him towards City."
