Brendan Rodgers drops hint amid Tottenham links as Gareth Bale makes decision over his future

Here is your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest on Monday, May 24.

Mason makes huge Kane admission

Ryan Mason reiterated his belief that Harry Kane is the "best player in the Premier League" after he won his third Golden Boot.

Kane scored his 23rd goal of the season in Tottenham's 4-2 over Leicester City, beating Liverpool's Mo Salah by the one strike.

Mason, when speaking after the match, heaped praise on the England captain.

"Harry Kane deservedly won the Golden Boot today," the Spurs interim boss said.

"Like I said all along I think he's been the best player in the Premier League. Most goals and most assists, it says it all.

"I feel very honoured to have played with him and we had some amazing experiences together, coming through the ranks, and I've been very fortunate in these past five weeks to have coached him, to have managed him and he turned up again today.

"He scored important goals in important moments and showed moments of brilliance.

"So from an individual point of view I'm very pleased Harry has got another Golden Boot to add to the collection."

Bale has made decision on his future

Gareth Bale will not say where he will be playing his football next season because of the "chaos" it would cause.

Bale's loan spell at Tottenham has now reached its conclusion and the Wales international has made the definitive decision on his future.

However, the 31-year-old is keeping very quiet on that front at the moment, as he explained to Sky Sports.

"It will happen after the Euros. I know what I'm doing but it will just cause chaos if I say anything," Bale said.

Rodgers drops hint over future amid Spurs links

Brendan Rodgers has said he "absolutely loves it" at Leicester City despite being continuously linked with the vacant Tottenham managerial job.

Following Jose Mourinho's sacking last month, Spurs are still on the hunt for a new boss and Rodgers is one of numerous coaches to be linked with taking over from Mason.

However, the Northern Irishman has once again said he is more than happy with his job at the King Power Stadium.

“They should have no worries about myself. I absolutely love it here at Leicester City. I’m emotional about missing out [on the top four] today and it makes me want to be here even more,” Rodgers said.
