Manchester City 'got away with not having a striker last season' and 'it's not rocket science that they need Harry Kane', blasts Graeme Souness after toothless defeat at Tottenham

Graeme Souness has insisted Manchester City have to sign a 'proper centre forward' if they are to retain their Premier League title and claimed they 'got away' with not having one last season.

City were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham in the opening game of their title defence, with long-term transfer target Harry Kane absent from the Spurs squad as Son Heung-min netted the winner.

City want to sign the £150million striker and Kane is desperate to join Pep Guardiola's side. But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has been adamant he will not allow the England captain to leave.
