Manchester City are reluctant to carry their pursuit of Harry Kane into next summer as Tottenham underlined their intention to keep their star striker.
The 28-year-old has been named in Tottenham’s 25-man squad for Thursday’s Europa Conference League play-off against Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira.
As revealed by Sportsmail last week, Kane has made himself available for selection after returning to full training following a five-day quarantine due to his contentious extended holiday in the Bahamas and the United States.
