Al Hilal set to make shock move for Harry Kane

Kane is the latest big name to be targeted

Al Hilal are reportedly plotting an attempt to try and bring Harry Kane to the Saudi Pro League this summer.

Saudi Arabia has been the talk of the transfer window so far after a number of high-profile stars have left top-five leagues in favour of a move to the Middle East.

Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, Rúben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and more have all joined clubs and now Al Hilal are supposedly willing to make a move for Kane in what would be the league’s biggest signing so far.

Kane’s future is up in the air at Tottenham with the England international entering the final year of his contract and showing no signs of signing an extension, so far.

Bayern Munich appear to be the favourites currently however they have had two bids rejected so far although they reportedly plan to go back in for a third time.

Manchester United were also interested but that seems to have waned off now, with Rasmus Hojlund emerging as their number one target for the forward position.

Sky Sports are claiming that Al Hilal have held talks but not made any official offer to Spurs, who are desperate to keep their star man.

If he joined, he would link up with the likes of Sergej Milinković-Savić, as well as Neves and Kouliably, who all joined Al Hilal in the summer.

They also tried to make an approach to sign Lionel Messi after he left Paris Saint-Germain but the World Cup winner favoured a move to Inter Miami instead, where he scored the winner on his debut for the club.
