SPURS CRANK UP EFFORTS TO KEEP KANE

TOTTENHAM will intensify their attempts to persuade Harry Kane to commit his long-term future to the club.

Chairman Daniel Levy is adamant they will not sell the striker to Bayern Munich with the German giants also ready to wait and sign him as a free agent next summer.

Kane, who turns 30 later this month, returned to pre-season training yesterday and will fly out with the squad tomorrow for the summer tour to Australia and the Far East.

New Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has already insisted he will try to sell his vision for success to Kane.

The England captain is currently on £200,000 a week and could earn in excess of £300,000 a week by staying.

Along with Bayern, Manchester United would be ready to make a move for Kane if he was a free agent next year.

Levy is taking a huge gamble by allowing his star man to run his deal into the final year but they are banking on his loyalty.
