Tottenham: Mason says Kane won't put own gain before team
Tottenham star Harry Kane wants to leave the club. And, now, reports claim Daniel Levy has set a huge price tag for the England international. Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea all have transfer interest in the striker, who has scored 22 Premier League goals this term.

And Manchester City’s record signing is Ruben Dias, with the centre-back arriving from Benfica last summer.
Kane isn’t likely to kick up a fuss to leave Tottenham, with the 27-year-old a model professional.
But now seems like it’s the right time to go and Spurs will loathe the idea of selling their prized asset to a domestic rival.
Speaking last month, Tottenham hero David Ginola said Kane must leave the club behind because the north London giants haven’t done enough to satisfy him.
“I think unfortunately he has to,” he told talkSPORT.
“Because his club haven’t provided for a player like him the sort of things he was expecting, like potentially winning trophies.
“I think he’s looking at his career now and over the last few years it has been good for him, but not really for the club.
“Even though they’ve competed in the Champions League final, I’m pretty sure he wants to play for a team that will challenge for any title in any country.”
Ginola also flouted the idea of Kane staying in London.
“I think it will be a decision made with his family and it will probably be a surprise in the end with his choice,” added the Frenchman.
“Maybe he will take an opportunity to go to a club without going too far away from London and obviously that would be a London club.
“That would be a big surprise for me as when you play for Spurs it’s a London club so you’re not going to Arsenal.
