- Striker accepts defeat in his bid to force Manchester City move
- ‘I’m 100% focused on helping the team achieve,’ he says
Harry Kane has confirmed he will be staying at Tottenham this summer and that he is “100% focused on helping the team achieve success” having accepted defeat in his battle to force a move to Manchester City.
Kane has been pushing for a switch to City for months, and had initially hope to seal the deal before Euro 2020. But both player and club have made little progress, mainly due to the characteristic intransigence of Spurs’s chairman, Daniel Levy. He rejected an initial £100m bid from City as well as a further one in the region of £127m, repeatedly insisting to the champions that Kane was not for sale, his stance greatly helped by the fact Kane signed a six-year deal with Spurs in June 2018.
