HARRY KANE is a man used to being decisive over which way to go whenever he is put on the spot.

Goalkeeper's left or goalkeeper's right had become a choice between staying or going.
And as ever the whole world was watching.
It is a crucial decision and Kane has rightly decided that on this occasion he is going to take his time.
Having vowed to sort out his future before the new season kicks off, realistically he knew he had to make his call before Ange Postecoglou's final training sessions in preparation for the opening game at Brentford on Sunday.
