Chelsea and the Manchester giants City and United have been linked with the star, who has three years left on his current contract and is valued at £150million by his club.

But new Spurs boss Nuno is adamant Kane - who is enjoying a few weeks off after leading the Three Lions to the Euro 2020 Final - is going nowhere.

At his first Press conference since his appointment at the start of this month, the Portuguese said:”Harry is our player, period. No need to talk about anything else.

“Now is the moment for Harry to recover his energy, to rest.

"When he comes again we will have time to speak. We will have good conversations, but now is the moment for Harry to rest and to prepare for what’s coming.

“And I’m looking forward to him joining the group and start working together.”

What I wish is for Harry to recover well, to have a good rest and when he arrives he will feel that everyone of us has to commit ourselves to become better.

Nuno’s comments will thrill Tottenham fans - even if he has not actually spoken with Kane about his future yet.

The new manager added: “I have no doubts in my mind. I have no doubts.

"What I wish is for Harry to recover well, to have a good rest and when he arrives he will feel that everyone of us has to commit ourselves to become better.

“We are very ambitious, we are ambitious people and we want to do it well and no doubts about Harry on that.
