The truth about Harry Kane's Tottenham future and what he has said amid Man City transfer links

Harry Kane has made no secret of the fact that he wants to win trophies as the speculation over his Tottenham future continues.

The Spurs star has been strongly linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Manchester United and Manchester City among the clubs named as potential suitors for the England captain.

Tottenham's London rivals Chelsea have also been linked, although it is thought to be unlikely that Spurs would be willing to sell to the Blues.

Spurs would be loathed to lose their talisman, with Kane proving his worth in recent seasons with his phenomenal goal record, having netted 220 goals for Spurs, 32 of which have come this season.

His contract in north London is up in the summer of 2024, but Kane recently hinted that he could leave the club to fulfil his ambition of winning trophies, having not won anything with Spurs in recent seasons.

Sky Sports News claim that Spurs are already making enquiries into who could be the ideal candidate to replace him, having reported that Kane has told Tottenham that he wants to leave.

However, football.london understands that while Kane is frustrated with what has been happening at Tottenham, with Spurs set for another trophyless campaign and looking likely to miss out on Champions League football again next season, he hasn't informed them of his desire to leave.

Kane has, however, made it clear about his ambitions to start winning trophies, with his individual honours not being matched with league titles and domestic cups.

"Individual awards are great, they are fantastic achievements," he said last month. "When I look back at the end of my career, these are the things I will go over and take in more but the goal right now as a player is to win team trophies.

"I want to be winning the biggest prizes there is to offer and we are not quite doing that.

"It is bittersweet, I would rather be winning team trophies and this one but it is what it is.

"I am proud to win it, it means it's been a good season on the pitch. So I have got to try and continue what I am doing."

It would require a huge sum of money to tempt Tottenham into selling Kane, with the 27-year-old still having three years remaining on his current contract.

Indeed, that is likely to prove to be an issue for several clubs this summer given the current financial climate, with many clubs unlikely to be able to match his valuation.
