Wayne Bridge expects Chelsea to attempt to sign a big-name striker this summer – and admitted he would ‘love’ his former club to swoop for Harry Kane.

Tottenham ace Kane’s future looks increasingly precarious with his team faltering in their Champions League bid, potentially triggering him to seek a move away.

And Bridge is keen for Chelsea to pounce on the situation and sensationally attempt to lure Kane across the London divide.

He told bettingexpert.com: “I’d love to see Kane go there, I think he’s brilliant. Sometimes money talks.

“If you look at how Tottenham are doing at the moment, I think there’s a great chance he could end up leaving if he wants to go and win something.

“I’m not sure if he would go, but I’d love to see him come in and start banging in goals for Chelsea.

“Chelsea have to be careful with who they buy but I’ll be very surprised if they didn’t bring another striker in.”

Kane is unsurprisingly highly sought after, having netted 19 goals this season for an ailing Spurs, and is said to be poised to leave in search of silverware.

The England captain is said to be ‘running out of patience’ in north London and may be willing to tell the club he would like to leave if they miss out on the top four.
