Tottenham Hotspur are set to receive a huge boost ahead of the upcoming transfer window after Harry Kane has reportedly decided that he wants to remain at the club, according to football.london journalist Alasdair Gold.
The Lowdown: Kane’s Spurs journey
The 28-year-old has been with the Lilywhites for the majority of his career, having worked his way up through the ranks from the youth academy after completing various loan spells with the likes of Norwich and Leicester during the early stages of his Spurs development.
Since then, the forward has gone on to be arguably the most important member of Antonio Conte’s current starting XI, with a staggering 307 goal contributions in just 386 senior appearances across all competitions, as per Transfermarkt.
Last summer, the 69-cap England international was heavily linked with a move away from N17 following reported interest from Premier League rivals Manchester City, meaning that his future has been a topic of speculation ever since. However, a reassuring update has emerged on that front for Tottenham fans.

The Latest: Decision made
In a fresh article by Gold for football.london, it is claimed that Kane has ‘made a decision’ regarding his future in the capital and ‘isn’t planning to leave’ Tottenham anytime soon.
The report added that the England captain is ‘excited’ by what the imminent years hold in N17, a belief which has ‘likely’ been fuelled by Spurs successfully securing Champions League football for next season.
The Verdict: Prolific partnership with Son
With the £90m-rated talisman looking set to stay at Tottenham, this will come as a great start to the summer transfer window for Conte, who is reportedly planning a significant squad overhaul throughout the next three months.
Kane, who was once dubbed an “animal” by Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness, has had yet another prolific season in front of goal, having found the net 27 times in all competitions for Spurs, with 17 of those coming in the Premier League.
His on-field relationship with strike partner Son Heung-min, with the duo having broken the Premier League record for the most goals scored by a particular combination of players, just goes to show how much their attacking prowess has helped Spurs to achieve that all-important top-four finish.
After all the uncertainty of last summer, it will be massively comforting to hear that Kane intends to stay put at Tottenham for another while.
