We all believed this would develop into a tense game of poker. Harry Kane versus Daniel Levy; who would blink first?
The problem was, Tottenham’s chairman didn’t have any cards in his hand. He wasn’t even at the table. In Levy’s mind, Kane was never leaving the north London club this summer, certainly not for Manchester City.
Levy knew how his star striker felt. He knew he wanted out. He knew Kane felt the club had failed to match his ambitions. Levy knew everything was in place for him to join Manchester City.
