Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has apparently told other chairmen that Harry Kane is not for sale this summer, the Athletic report.

Kane has hinted at his desire to leave Tottenham recently, with behind the scenes matter apparently adding to his disillusionment.

The Athletic claim that Kane has been in constant discussions with Levy over the past 18 months and has held regular meetings with Tottenham’s chairman.

Unfortunately Levy has not been persuasive enough to prove that Tottenham have the ambition to match Kane.

The striker’s disillusionment is said to have been heightened by Tottenham’s sacking of Jose Mourinho.

And, worryingly for Spurs, it is claimed in the Athletic that Kane is not the only Tottenham player feeling in the same boat.

Levy, though, is said to be communicating that he will be very difficult to deal with.

He has privately told other executives that Kane will not be sold regardless of the price, according to the latest update.

However, there is a growing feeling across the footballing world that a bid of over £120 million would get Kane from Tottenham.

On the face of it that sort of offer could be difficult for Spurs to turn down.

Kane is now 28 and doesn’t have the best injury record in the world – he is unlikely to be as valuable for too much longer.

Tottenham have also suffered heavy losses during the pandemic and that sort of money could help to offset that.

However, despite the business sense in the deal, the problem comes for Tottenham on the pitch.

Kane is their star man and without him there will be real question marks over which direction they are heading.

Spurs don’t even have a manager right now, and the job will look far less appealing if whoever takes charge knows their main striker is going.

Replacing Kane with a player of equal quality is practically impossible for Tottenham, regardless of the price they raise, and Levy will surely have to think long and hard about the decision he makes over the striker this summer.
