‘Superstar’ once offered to become a goalkeeper for Arsenal, now he’s one of the best strikers in the world
Club decision -makers must make hundreds of difficult decisions each year, and those they are right are extremely profitable – on and off the field.
Such an error was made at Arsenal two decades ago.
Harry Kane proposed to become a goalkeeper just to stay in Arsenal
Harry Kane grew up in an arsenal fan and played for the club academy.
English is one of the best attackers on the planet today, after having transformed a prolific scorer in Tottenham Hotspur.
However, when he was 12 years old, Arsenal decided that Kane was not good enough for them.
When the news was given to the attacker and his family, Kane proposed to change his position and become a goalkeeper to stay in Arsenal.
It is according to the former boss of the Gunners Academy, Roy Massey, who said to the Sun in April 2023: “When I see Harry now, I can’t help but think about when he was a 12 -year -old child with star eyes, sat with his mother and his father in my office because I told him that he was not up to the level we were looking for.
“It was the most difficult part of the work, telling the guys that Arsenal let them go.
“The next thing, Harry’s father returned and told me that he wanted to be a goalkeeper now – and I thought the least I could do was send him to work with our goalkeeper Alex Welch.
“Alex was one of the best in the business, and after only a few sessions, he said to me:” Roy, the boy will never note in order. So this time, Harry had to move on.
Harry Kane was incredible in Bayern Munich
Kane has been a “superstar” since he joined Bayern Munich.
The captain of England was also brilliant in Tottenham, but he is now at the club which corresponds to his level, and he scores goals to have fun there.
Kane scored 103 goals and provided 29 assists in 106 games for Bayern. He led them to the title of Bundesliga last season and is on the right track to start again.
After scoring 18 goals in his first 10 games so far this season, he is sure to say that Kane is the best striker in the world at the moment.
One cannot wonder what would have happened if Arsenal had persisted with Kane instead of freeing him.
