Harry Kane
Report shares Levy’s stance on 3-time PL winner amid talks of players-plus-cash deal
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly made his stance clear on Harry Kane. There is a genuine fear that Kane could finally leave the north London club this summer, irrespective of whoever the club appoint as their next manager. The England striker is currently preparing for the upcoming Euro tournament, but his future at the north London club remains a key talking point. Both the Manchester clubs are heavily interested in signing Kane, with City being more proactive of the two. According to a recent report from The Sun, City are prepared to offer both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus in a player(s)-plus-cash deal to sign Kane. However, the same publication has claimed that Levy has no interest in entertaining such offer, and that he wants only cash for Kane. The report ...
Marcus Rashford penalty gives England win over Romania in Euro warm-up
Marcus Rashford’s penalty earned England an unconvincing 1-0 win over Romania in their final warm-up friendly ahead of Euro 2020 in Middlesbrough on Sunday. However, victory for Gareth Southgate’s men was again overshadowed by booing from supporters as the players took the knee before kick-off. Southgate’s selection will also be questioned as he named an experimental line-up with five players who are not part of his final squad making an appearance at some point in the game. There is still one place up for grabs in Southgate’s 26-man squad, though, due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold. James Ward-Prowse, Ben Godfrey and Ben White were all given the chance to further their case from the start, while Jesse Lingard and Ollie Watkins came off the bench in the second-half. An inexperience...
Thomas Tuchel targets four signings at Chelsea after contract extension
According to the Daily Star, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel wants to bring in four new players this summer after signing a new contract with the club. Tuchel arrived at the Bridge in January earlier this year, after Chelsea had sacked club legend Frank Lampard owing to a disappointing run of results that threatened to derail the campaign. Under the German, though, the Blues experienced a tremendous turnaround as they clinched a top-four finish in the Premier League and also made it to the FA Cup finals. But the cherry on top was Chelsea going on to win the UEFA Champions League for just the second time in the history of the club, beating Man City in the finals in Porto. Following the sensational turnaround, Tuchel, who had initially signed just an eighteen-month contract, has now been hande...
Gary Lineker expects Manchester clubs or PSG to win Harry Kane race
Gary Lineker believes that both Manchester clubs and Paris Saint-Germain are the favourites to land Harry Kane in the summer, although he expects Daniel Levy to fight hard to keep Tottenham’s star man. Kane recorded 22 goals and 14 assists in the Premier League last season to secure both the golden boot and the playmaker award, despite Spurs finishing in seventh place in the table. As reported by Goal on May 17, the Spurs forward, who will captain England at the upcoming European Championship in the summer, wants to leave the north Londoners and Lineker can understand his desire for trophies. “I think that it would be worrying [to see him dominate the league if he joins Manchester City],” Lineker told Goal. “I would love to see him at Barcelona but they are going for [Sergio] Aguero and ar...
Euro 2020: Gareth Southgate invites Bukayo Saka, 24 others
Gareth Southgate hit back at the critics after selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold for England’s Euro 2020 squad as the Three Lions boss admitted Harry Maguire is a doubt for the opener against Croatia. Alexander-Arnold had to endure a nervous wait before learning he had made the cut after spending much of the season out of favour with Southgate. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate’s England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. But Alexander-Arnold’s strong end to the season with Liverpool convinced Southgate to restore the right-back to his squad. Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...
Manchester United prefer to sign £80m-rated star over Harry Kane this summer
Manchester United prefer to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho over Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane this summer, The Mail reports. The Red Devils were heavily linked with Sancho last summer, but they refused to meet the £108 million valuation set by the Bundesliga outfit. They are likely to make a fresh approach in the coming weeks, with reports suggesting that the attacker could be available for a reduced fee of £80m. Kane has also been linked with a possible move to Old Trafford, but it appears that United are not planning to pursue the England international. The club recently committed Edinson Cavani to a new one-year contract, and they are satisfied with the performances of the Uruguayan. Hence, they are likely to prioritise a summer move for Sancho, and will attempt ...
Tottenham Hotspur ‘confident’ £76.5m-rated star will stay even if Harry Kane leaves the club
Tottenham Hotspur are confident that Heung-min Son will stay with the club even if Harry Kane heads for the exit door this summer, Football Insider reports. The north London giants had a disappointing 2020/21 campaign where they finished a lowly seventh in the Premier League standings. On top of this, they failed to win a trophy for another season. They have now gone 13 years without winning any form of major silverware. It has recently been reported that Harry Kane is assessing his options, and he has told the club that he would be leaving during the forthcoming transfer window. This has obviously led to question marks over Son’s future, but the club appear confident that the 28-year-old will stay with the club after holding talks. Sportslens view: Kane and Son were the standout perf...
Manchester United step up Kingsley Coman transfer bid
Getty Images Manchester United have reportedly told Kingsley Coman they are ready to pay him £200,000 a week after tax. The Bayern Munich star has two years left on his contract but is yet to agree terms over a new deal. Bild claim Coman, 24, earns £200k a week before tax but ‘would like to have it in net’. United have apparently ‘indicated’ to the Frenchman they are willing to meet his demands – and make him their joint fifth top earner. But there is no guarantee of a quick transfer as Bayern are in no rush to make a decision on his future. And the Bundesliga champions will be able to demand a hefty fee with Transfermarkt valuing him at £58.5million. United are in the market for a new winger with Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo both top targets. Coman has long been linked and could be ...
Harry Kane breaks silence over his Tottenham future, talks about winning regular trophies
Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has talked about the prospect of winning regular trophies amid interest from the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United. Kane has spent his entire career with the north London club, registering 220 goals and 46 assists from 335 appearances across all competitions. Despite the personal success, he has failed to win any form of silverware, and it is reported that he is assessing his options ahead of the summer transfer window. Kane went on a lap of honour following the 2-1 Premier League debut to Aston Villa yesterday, but caretaker boss Ryan Mason dismissed that he was bidding farewell. However, in a recent interview with Gary Neville for The Overlap, Kane has talked about the possibility of leaving Spurs, saying that he does not want to have any re...
Report: 27-goal star open to joining Man City, club plan to hold talks over a potential deal
Manchester City are keen to sign Harry Kane in the summer transfer window. On Tuesday, Pep Guardiola was asked in the press conference about whether he would be signing Kane. The Spaniard remained tight-lipped, suggesting he would not comment on a player who is contracted to another club. Kane reportedly has informed Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, that he wants to leave Spurs this summer, following a disappointing campaign. Fabrizio Romano, writing for The Guardian, has claimed two crucial points. First, City ‘plan to hold talks over a potential deal’ for the Spurs striker. Secondly, Kane is open to joining City. He also added on Twitter that Kane has not handed in a transfer request, but he expects an amicable solution. Harry Kane desire to leave Tottenham is confirmed. He’s ...
‘It is expected’: Levy has made his decision on Tottenham player amid exit reports
Sky Sports dropped a massive bombshell earlier this week, which was partly expected though, given how the season has panned out. They claimed that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has informed the club owner, Daniel Levy, of his decision to leave the club in the summer. Kane, who earlier claimed that he wants to win trophies in his career along with personal accolades, has once again enjoyed a fantastic season and may end up winning the golden boot. However, Spurs have been below par, and they are unlikely to get into the top four this season. Kane, it seems, doesn’t want to hang around, as another season in the Europa League looms large. A move away from north London looks increasingly difficult, especially when the negotiator is one of the toughest people to deal with. Put simply, it...
Harry Kane tells Tottenham he wants to leave this summer
Harry Kane has reiterated his stance that he wants to leave Tottenham this summer. The 27-year-old has grown frustrated over the club’s inability to compete at the highest level, having seen his side fall out of contention to secure Champions League football for next season. Spurs have long been reluctant to entertain bids for their talisman but the England captain is hoping that they will soften their stance after his long service to the club. Daniel Levy will demand a huge fee for Kane – who prefers a move within the Premier League – as he is on a long-term deal until 2024. Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are potentially viable destinations, although it is still unclear as to whether a move will materialise. All three of the aforementioned Premier League giants have signif...
