Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Britain - January 7, 2023. Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane shoots.
Tottenham Hotspur will hold ‘initial talks’ with Harry Kane in the next few weeks regarding a contract extension, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.
The Lowdown: Kane to leave Tottenham?
The 29-year-old’s current contract is set to expire at the end of next season, leading to rumours about a move elsewhere for the England captain, with Manchester United said to be considering a summer swoop.
Bayern Munich have also been named as potential suitors for the striker, but there is seemingly a decent chance that he remains at Tottenham, with CBS reporter Ben Jacobs recently detailing that the forward is keen to stay put.
The Latest: Contract talks planned
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT about the Englishman’s future with Spurs, Jones said: “I expect in the next few weeks that there will be initial talks. It’ll be a situation in which they can now turn to.
“Being honest, even before the World Cup and during the tournament, asking about this, it was really a case of Tottenham just waiting for Kane’s camp to give them the green light that they were ready to have talks and to listen to what the offer would be.”
The Verdict: Fantastic news for Spurs
If the 29-year-old commits his long-term future to Tottenham, he is well on course to becoming the record Premier League goalscorer. He has netted 199 goals in the division, the third-most of any player, with the current record of 260 being set by Alan Shearer.
Hailed as ‘absolute gold‘ by Gary Neville, the forward is having yet another exceptional season in front of goal, only trailing Erling Haaland in the top-flight scoring charts, having netted on 16 occasions in the league prior to today’s clash against Manchester City.
Will Kane sign a new contract?
Yes!
No!
Kane has previously made no secret of his desire to win the ‘biggest team prizes‘, so there would have been understandable concern that Tottenham’s continued failure to do so may affect the chances of him committing to a new contract in N17.
As such, it is fantastic to hear that he appears to be willing to enter initial contract talks, and the hope will now be for a strong second half of the season which will further convince him to stay with Spurs.
