Harry Kane dramatically ramped up his efforts to force through a move away from Tottenham on Monday when he refused to report for pre-season training.
The England striker is clearly determined his big money transfer, most likely to defending Premier League champions Manchester City, goes through this summer.
Kane is likely to be fined for skipping his first day back at Tottenham's Enfield training base and risks damaging the esteem in which he is held at the club.
However, it is a clear sign of his determination to join a club with a better chance of winning the trophies he so craves for his CV.
