Tottenham have been dealt a potentially major blow as a report shares some news involving Harry Kane's contract.
The Lowdown: Kane future unsolved...
Kane has entered the final 17 months of his contract with the likes of Man United and Bayern Munich reportedly eyeing a move for the striker.
Antonio Conte's star player is set to be a hot topic at Spurs over the next few months until chairman Daniel Levy either manages to agree an extension or opts to sell.
Kane had been subject to a proposed Man City move in the summer of 2021 but Pep Guardiola's side were ultimately priced out of a transfer.
The Latest: Spurs dealt Kane contract blow...
The 29-year-old could have another chance to move on from Tottenham in the not-too-distant future with a claim from Italy sharing some contract news.
There had been reports of Kane leaning towards signing fresh terms, but there's allegedly been a twist to the tale.
According to Calciomercatoweb.it, as translated by Sport Witness, Kane is apparently 'extremely full of doubts' over his Spurs future - dealing a blow to their hopes of keeping him.
As a result, the England international has apparently put contract talks on hold - mainly due to uncertainties surrounding Conte's stay at the club.

The Verdict: Worrying...
Tottenham's lack of silverware was already an incentive for Kane to leave the club given he has made no secret of his desire to win trophies.
Conte's arrival at the club indicated real promise in this regard considering the former Chelsea boss is a decorated serial winner at all of his previous sides.
As both men's futures are closely linked, if Spurs were to lose the duo, it would come as a hammer blow.
In Kane's case, the attacker is absolutely pivotal, as showcased by his outstanding league form over 2022/2023.
As per WhoScored, the Three Lions ace stands out as Tottenham's best-performing player by average match rating - pitching in with a phenomenal return of 17 goals in 23 starts.
In terms of finding a potential replacement, there are very few strikers in world football on Kane's level.
