Why Harry Kane is set to snub Real Madrid and stay at Tottenham next season

Harry Kane seems sure to stay at Tottenham – for next season at least.

The Spurs top scorer has yet to begin talks on a new contract and despite his allegiances to the club fears haven’t subsided that the England striker will eventually leave for one of Europe’s elite.

But that doesn’t look like being as soon as this summer, The Sun reported on Friday.

Kane is in no immediate hurry to chase some trophies – and is desperate to lead the club out in their new stadium during the 2018-19 season – even if Tottenham don’t make the top four.

Kane’s basic salary at Spurs is £110,000 and there’s talk of a double-your-money deal to be had once the club have returned to north London.

But while the 24-goal Premier League joint top scorer is staying put for now at least, the same can’t be said of two of the club’s key defenders.
