Kane's brother, Charlie, was exposed so publicly and humiliatingly over the brothers' failed attempt to engineer a transfer to Manchester City 18 months ago he daren't risk antagonising the Spurs fanbase again. 'Charlie Kane' trended on Twitter more than his sibling during the summer of 2021.
'CK66' has been rebranded as the more singular The Harry Kane Company. To counter last week's reports of United's interest, some suspect the Kanes have embarked on a charm offensive with Spurs supporters. It helps Harry is on the cusp of breaking the feted Jimmy Greaves's club goalscoring record that has stood for almost 53 years.
Only when Kane does leave Spurs - this summer or next fans will bemoan the false hope they were fed. Kane is an undeniably ambitious player and his six-year renewal in 2018 was an early harbinger his brother was not cut out for dealing with Daniel Levy.
Tottenham lost to United in the FA Cup semi-finals that year and dropped below them in the Premier League table. Yes, they were 90 minutes away from Champions League utopia in 2019 but that fortuitous run to the final masked cracks. Mauricio Pochettino was gone five months later.
