Harry Kane set to be denied dream Man City transfer by Tottenham in huge blow to England skipper
Sponsored by
HARRY KANE reportedly ‘faces heartbreak’ and is set to be denied his dream move from Tottenham to a Champions League club.
The striker, who has come under scrutiny after failing to have a shot on target so far for England at Euro 2020, wants to leave the North London club this summer.
Manchester City have been linked with a bumper swoop for the 27-year-old and the player appeared to publicly identify the Etihad Stadium as his ideal destination.
Kane outlined his intention to join a side contending for big honours prior to linking up with England last month in an interview with Gary Neville.
And he even suggested Kevin De Bruyne would be a dream team-mate for a striker, sparking the City speculation.
However, claims that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is now determined to hang on to the star.
And they also state that City are reluctant to become involved in a long-running transfer saga until the last few days of the summer window in order to try and thrash out a deal.
There had been suggestions a gentlemen’s agreement between Kane and Spurs was in place for him to leave.
But nothing was in writing and therefore Levy will not be forced to sell.
The Spurs chief has declared already he would do what was best to protect the club when it came to the future of Kane.

And he added that ‘his frustration at not winning is shared by me and, I’m sure, all the fans and players’.
Now it seems that Kane could be in for even more frustration if he is denied his wish to depart.
City also want the ace’s England team-mate Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.
That could break the Premier League transfer record - but the Cityzens expect the negotiations to be more straightforward than they would be with Spurs and Levy for Kane.
