Former Manchester City midfielder Nigel De Jong believes Tottenham striker Harry Kane is the perfect candidate to fill the 'huge' void left by Sergio Aguero

Nigel De Jong believes Tottenham striker Harry Kane would slot straight into the Manchester City set-up as his former club look to fill the 'huge' void left by all-time top scorer Sergio Aguero.

Pep Guardiola's men are looking to strengthen this summer, having lost the Champions League final at the end of a campaign in which they won the Premier League and Carabao Cup.

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish has been strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, where the exit of club record goalscorer Aguero has left a gap up front despite his bit-part role last season.
