Harry Kane would score an "alarming" amount of goals for Chelsea, according to Arsenal legend Ian Wright. Chelsea are one of three Premier League clubs who Sky Sports claim have made contact with Kane's representatives with regard to a summer transfer. The England captain has told Tottenham he wants to leave the club at the end of the season.

However, Wright believes Kane would suit Thomas Tuchel's style of play at Chelsea and reckons he would score goals for fun.
He said on the Kelly & Wrighty Show: "When you look at Chelsea and the way they're playing under Tuchel and how solid they are at the back and how they can get the ball up front, you could see him scoring goals at Chelsea at an alarming rate."
Wright believes City would prefer to wait and sign Haaland next summer when his Dortmund release clause of around £64.6million becomes active.
He added: "I genuinely think that City, if they're going to spend money, maybe Haaland next year at a £70m clause, that sounds a lot better for me in respects of long term, the player he is, and the kind of money they want to spend."

The former England striker also thinks Kane's injury record would put off City.
"Yes of course [Kane's injury record will have an impact], with the calibre of player they're getting and the amount of money, the outlay," Wright continued.
"City don't pay that kind of money, City are £60m-odd max, that kind of stuff.
"Harry Kane's going into the stage of his career with the injuries that he's had, playing a certain kind of football, I can't see the fit."
In an interview with Gary Neville, which was released on Thursday, Kane admitted a conversation had to be had over his future with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
Kane told Sky Sports' The Overlap: "I think so [this is a crossroads moment in my career]. I think it's definitely a conversation to be had with the club.
"Yeah, like you say, I want to be playing in the biggest games. The biggest moments. Like, this season I'm there watching the Champions League, watching the English teams in there doing amazing. They are the games that I want to be involved in.
"I want to be in them games. So for sure, it’s a moment in my career where I have to kind of reflect and see where I'm at and have a good, honest conversation with the chairman. I hope that we can have that conversation."
