Guardiola remains tight-lipped on possible Harry Kane transfer
Harry Kane has been left out of the Tottenham team for their Premier League opener against Manchester City, amid widespread reports that he favours a transfer to the Premier League champions.
The England captain has been embroiled in a lengthy transfer saga this summer having made clear before Euro 2020 his desire to pursue a new challenge.
Kane has not won a trophy throughout his club career and he is thought to see this summer as one of his last remaining chances to earn a move to club challenging for major honours.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has publicly expressed his desire to sign the 28-year-old but Spurs are standing firm on their £150million valuation of the striker.
Both clubs meet on the opening weekend of the new campaign today with City travelling to Spurs' Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It was initially thought that Kane was meant to return a couple of weeks ago.
He has strongly refuted claims that he avoided the club's Premier League preparations, however.
Kane's first day back at the base is believed to have been on Thursday, meaning that he has had just three days of work ahead of the City clash and only a few training sessions.
He was granted a longer summer after participating in England's excellent Euro 2020 campaign, which ended in a final defeat against Italy.
He has made a few additions to his squad. Defender Cristian Romero has arrived from Atalanta, while goalkeeper Perluigi Gollini has arrived on loan from the same club.
Winger Bryan Gil has signed from Sevilla in a deal which saw long-serving midfielder Erik Lamela head in the opposite direction.
Nuno refused to confirm that star player Kane would be a Spurs player by the end of the transfer window when asked the question in his pre-match press conference.
He said: "He's here with us, he's here with us. He's a Tottenham player. He's here with us. We have to think about tomorrow.
"Let's prepare the training session of tomorrow and go day by day. All the players who have worked with us are our players."
