Tottenham confirm stance on Harry Kane to Man City £160m transfer claim

Tottenham have reiterated their claim that they have no intention of selling Harry Kane at any price.

The London club was said by a report in The Sun to have acceded to a request by the England skipper for a move this summer, teeing up a £160million switch to Manchester City, where he would be on an eye-popping £400,000 a week.

Kane made it plain last season that he wanted to leave Spurs this summer, and dropped a broad hint that the Etihad Stadium would be his preferred destination, leading to months of speculation.

Kane had also said that he would be seeking talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to request a move, hoping they could come to a gentlemen's agreement.

The Sun report claims that Levy told Kane last Friday that he could leave, for the right deal, and that the news was being discussed at Kane's brother Charlie's wedding last Sunday - his brother is also his agent.

City are saying nothing about the claim, and Tottenham have made no public comment but are privately understood to have said there has been no U-turn from Levy, and that their stance remains exactly the same - Kane is not for sale.

The only public statement from either club on the matter came from new Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo, who confirmed the club stance at his unveiling last week.

"Harry is our player, period. No need to talk about anything else," he said. "Now is the moment for Harry to recover his energy, to rest.

"When he comes again we will have time to speak. We will have good conversations, but now is the moment for Harry to rest and to prepare for what’s coming, and I’m looking forward to him joining the group and start working together."

When asked if he needed clarity on Kane's future, he added: "I have no doubts in my mind. I have no doubts."
