Real Madrid must move for 'outstanding' Harry Kane, claims former president Ramon Calderon... while England striker insists he is 'focused on playing for Tottenham'

Former Real Madrid president Jose Ramon Calderon has insisted that the Spanish giants are 'obliged' to enquire about Tottenham striker Harry Kane. 

After Spurs came away from the Santiago Bernabeu with a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night, Kane will wonder what could have been after the striker saw a clear-cut chance denied by Keylor Navas.

The England international had a prime opportunity to steal the points but after breaking through, his attempt was denied by Navas and saw Spurs settle with a point.

Real and Spurs share the lead in group H with Borussia Dortmund and APOEL six points adrift

Following the result, which sees Real share the group lead with Spurs and six points clear of Borussia Dortmund and APOEL in group H, The Sun reported that Calderon sees Kane as a prime target for Zinedine Zidane.

'Now Madrid are always on the lookout for the top players,' he said. 

'A club like Real Madrid is obliged to have important players so they can bring in new sponsors, brands and keep generating more money so they can maintain their current status. That money helps you to invest, save and invest again.

'I suppose Madrid would like to sign Kane, it depends on a few things, such as the desires of player and the coach, but without a doubt he is an outstanding player.'

Following the result Calderon familiarised Kane with Cristiano Ronaldo's record move to Real

Calderon claims he 'would not be cheap' but says Ronaldo signing looked 'crazy' at the time

Although its unlikely Tottenham chairman, nor manager Mauricio Pochettino, would be willing to see the 24-year-old depart Spurs anytime soon, the fee would unsurprisingly be an extortionate one.  

'He (Kane) would not be cheap, but when I signed Cristiano Ronaldo for £80million everyone thought I was crazy and look where we are now,' added Calderon.

'£150m is now seen as nothing, it's normal. We no longer know what the limit is.'

Kane experienced a rare goalless evening in Madrid, with Hugo Lloris claiming the man of the match prize after incredible shot-stopping guaranteed his side a memorable point in Madrid.

But despite talk of his future has claimed he fully committed and focused on Tottenham

Spurs' two-time Premier League golden boot winner is in undeniable form though, netting 11 goals in 11 appearances for Pochettino's side, which makes him a hot commodity across Europe, but according to Goal, insisted he is focused on Tottenham.

'I'm focused on the season. I want to keep playing well for Tottenham,' he said. 'We came here and got a great result against a very good side and it leaves us in a great position for the rest of the Champions League group.

'There were chances at both ends. We could have nicked it in the end, but they are the best team in the world at the moment and we are very happy.'
