Journalist Dean Jones has suggested that Arne Slot’s arrival could convince Harry Kane to remain at Tottenham next season.
Harry Kane has worked with some big-name managers at Tottenham over recent years but it appears as though the North London club are likely to hand the job to a young, up-and-coming project manager this time around, with Arne Slot emerging as the top contender.
The Daily Mail revealed on Monday that Spurs have already spoken to the Dutchman regarding the vacancy and are expected to make a formal approach to Feyenoord later this week.
If Slot does arrive through the door, it remains to be seen how Kane will react to the move, with the striker having admitted in an interview with Sky Sports last month that Tottenham need to get back the culture and the values that they had under Mauricio Pochettino.
Jones believes that it would not necessarily take a big-name appointment for Spurs to convince the England captain to stay.
The journalist told GiveMeSport: “Ultimately, the thing for Kane is that if he stays he’s got one more year to do this. One more year to win something.
“This has been a time when, as the most lethal centre-forward they’ve ever had, he should have been rewarded with some team success.
“With that in mind, of course, you’d like an exciting name that gives him more hope of doing that but equally, I think someone like Arne Slot could do well.
“What if he could be their version of Ten Hag and start implementing fast changes, and they quickly get going in a cup run and can pull off a couple of big wins?
“I don’t think it would take too much to win over Kane in that sense.”

Kane will realise on the back of Conte’s and Mourinho’s struggles at Spurs that appointing a big-name manager is no guarantee of success.
The striker might be fascinated by the idea of working with someone like Slot, who has fresh ideas and whose coaching career is on an upward trajectory.
