Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has not returned to pre-season training as expected.
Kane has been heavily linked with Manchester City, and his decision to return to Spurs has only added to the speculation surrounding his future.
Former Tottenham star Gary Lineker has claimed that it would be a real shame if the player tries to force a move away from his boyhood club.
It will be a real shame if this is an ugly divorce. Will be much better for both the club and @HKane if an harmonious settlement can be achieved. https://t.co/0qibF1kQbQ
