Patrick Bamford makes major Leeds United decision amid transfer interest from Tottenham

Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford this month amid uncertainty over his contract at Elland Road.

According to a recent report from the Telegraph, Spurs have put the English forward on their radar this summer, with Bamford having less than 12 months remaining on his contract in Yorkshire, but it has been reported that Leeds took the option to extend his deal by a further year in 2020.

However, according to a fresh report from the Mirror, Bamford has 'intimated he is happy to remain at Leeds' and the club are hopeful he will sign a new long-term contract in the near future.

The aforementioned report from the Telegraph suggested that Bamford would only have been signed to play alongside Harry Kane, rather than a replacement for the Tottenham striker.

Kane has been heavily linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium throughout the summer transfer window, with Premier League champions Manchester City having a strong interest in the 2020/21 Golden Boot winner.

But Spurs are determined to keep hold of the 28-year-old, who still has three years remaining on his current contract with the club.

City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed earlier this month that the Premier League champions are interested in signing Kane.

"He's a player for Tottenham Hotspur. If Tottenham don't want to negotiate, it's finished," Guardiola said in early-August.

"If they are open to negotiate, I think not just Man City but many clubs in the world want to try and sign him - we are not an exception - but it depends on Tottenham.

"It's different from Jack [Grealish]. Jack had a release clause and he is different. Harry Kane is an exceptional, extraordinary striker - no doubts about that, of course we are interested - but he is a Tottenham player and, if they don't want to negotiate, there is nothing more to say. If they want to, we will try."
