Ex- Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov believes the club's star player Harry Kane may have to seek a move away if he wants to pick up trophies in his career.

Berbatov, who is currently a free agent, spent three seasons at Spurs between 2006-2009, winning a solitary League Cup during his spell at White Hart Lane.

After leaving for Manchester United , however, he won two Premier League titles, another League Cup, two Community Shields and the Club World Cup.

Even though Kane and co came close to winning the Champions League last season, losing 2-0 to Liverpool in the final, Berbatov believes Kane should consider follow his lead in moving on.

Speaking as a Betfair Ambassador, Berbatov said: “Someone needs to ask Harry Kane about what he will do if Spurs don’t win a trophy this season.

“Coming from that point of view, and I’ve been in those shoes, the moment comes when you play for a team for a while and you don’t win anything.

“At the same time you see other colleagues that you are playing with in the national team, and they are winning trophies.

“You get jealous, in a good way. You’re like ‘I want to be part of that’."

Berbatov admits it would be a difficult decision for Kane to take, due to his strong ties to the club, but believes it is one he must think about for the good of his future.

“You start asking all these questions and at one moment nothing changes, you change the environment, you change the club," he said.

“It’s a tough decision because fans will be disappointed — and so will the coach. What is that ambition telling him? Stay here and try to win trophies for my club that I’m captain of.

“Or find a new challenge where you need to test yourself."

Berbatov also believes there are a few issues behind the scenes at Spurs following some angry comments by manager Mauricio Pochettino about his role in transfers over the summer.

“This outburst of disappointment from Mauricio, it shows you something is going on," he added.

“Hopefully, they can resolve it before the start of the season. Pochettino is a great coach and has done miracles there. So hopefully they can resolve that issue."
