Paul Merson: So many clubs need Kane but he won't join Chelsea

Paul Merson says Chelsea are in desperate need of a new striker this summer but it won't be Harry Kane, who won't want to tarnish his Tottenham legacy by moving to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are currently ninth in the Premier League, 10 points off fourth-placed Newcastle.

Chelsea haven't got that natural goal scorer.

For all the great talent they do have, you do need that natural striker in front of goal who is going to get a goal out of nothing.

We've seen this with Harry Kane and Tottenham for two weeks in a row. He has just won Spurs six points through unbelievable finishing against Fulham and Manchester City.

They did bring in David Datro Fofana, but you don't know if he's going to be top drawer or not. It's a big ask for him to come straight in and score 20 goals a season in the hardest league in the world.

It's a hard one. Everybody wants a centre forward, but Chelsea do need to get one.

The one that is staring everybody in the face is Kane.

But I don't think he goes to Chelsea because of his Tottenham legacy, which I feel he'd lose if he moves to Stamford Bridge.
