TRANSFERS Kane over Osimhen – Jaap Stam advises Manchester United
Manchester United legend Jaap Stam has advised the club to consider a purchase of Tottenham striker Harry Kane over Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
A second-half comeback from Brentford led by Yoan Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo scuppered that dream, but Kane had already made his mark on the game and the Premier League history books thanks to his goal.
The Englishman’s goal saw him reach the 30-goal mark in all competitions for the fifth time in his career, as he climbed to 28 goals in the league in the 2022/23 campaign.
More importantly, it was the 27th Premier League match this season that Kane had scored in, which makes him the player to score in the most separate games in a single Premier League campaign.

Kane reaches negative milestone in Spurs’ defeat
Despite the superb record that Kane set with his goal against Brentford, the Egland captain will surely be disappointed by Tottenham’s overall season which has the club labouring in eighth place with no hope of European football next season.
Spurs’ awful season has impacted Kane as well, as he now sits second on the all-time list of players to lose the most matches while scoring in one Premier League season.
The loss to Brentford was the seventh time this season that Kane had scored in a Spurs loss, leaving him behind only Jamie Vardy who scored in nine Leicester City losses in the 2017/18 season.
