Here is your Tottenham morning digest on Tuesday, March 15.

Keane on Kane to United

Roy Keane believes Tottenham striker Harry Kane would "walk into" the current Manchester United team.

"You’ve got Kulusevski who’s come in and hit the ground running," the 38-year-old admitted. "They’ve got the speed of Kane, trickery of Kulusevski, he can go past players and create."
