# Tottenham: Sky journalist shares promising Harry Kane update

**Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg has shared a very promising update on Harry Kane’s potential contract extension at [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/).**

### The Lowdown: Kane exit links…

The England captain has been [repeatedly linked](https://talksport.com/football/1313332/harry-kane-options-tottenham-man-united-bayern-munich/) with a move away from N17 as he enters the final 18 months of his contract at Spurs.

Kane’s current deal expires in [2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/profil/spieler/132098) as things stand, putting the likes of [Bayern Munich and Man United](https://talksport.com/football/1313332/harry-kane-options-tottenham-man-united-bayern-munich/) on red alert as both sides scour the market for a world class centre-forward.

The 29-year-old has been a crucial player under Antonio Conte, [scoring](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/83532/Show/Harry-Kane) 16 goals in 21 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) starts this season as he spearheads Tottenham’s chase for a top-four finish.

### The Latest: Plettenberg shares promising Kane update…

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1619074870645784576), Sky journalist Plettenberg claims that, after a latest round of in-house talks, Spurs are ‘very optimistic’ that Kane will put pen to paper on a contract extension.

Furthermore, it is believed that United and Bayern should have ‘no chance’ of stealing the striker away from north London.

Plettenberg explained: *“News #Kane: More talks between Tottenham/agent took place. Been told that Tottenham is ‘very optimistic’ now that Kane will extend beyond 2024. Bayern and #MUFC should have ‘no chance’. Bayern don’t give up hope but the bosses are more & more pessimistic.”*

### The Verdict: Great news…

You can never say never until Kane officially puts pen to paper, but this certainly comes as a very encouraging claim for Spurs supporters. The odds have appeared to swing in both Conte and Daniel Levy’s favour, with Tottenham now looking like favourites to tie down Kane rather than seeing him leave.

According to [WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham) the forward’s contribution stretches far beyond being a proven goalscorer, as he also ranks joint-second in their squad for key passes made per 90 in the final third.

At the end of 2020/21, Kane won both the [Premier League Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Year award](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2154211), prompting [serious interest](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12337836/harry-kane-man-city-make-100m-transfer-bid-for-tottenham-striker#:~:text=Manchester%20City%20have%20made%20a,for%20Tottenham%20striker%20Harry%20Kane.) from champions Manchester City at the time.

The Three Lions star comes as a real all-rounder and a rare striker in the beautiful game, especially in the sense that he can [drop deep](https://www.spurs-web.com/spurs-news/pochettino-argues-why-harry-kane-dropping-deep-is-a-problem-for-england/) and create alongside his ability to poach in the penalty area.

Keeping hold of Kane beyond 2024 would be a major boost for Tottenham, and this update suggests that they may well do so.
