Tottenham Hotspurs' talisman Harry Kane has been linked with a move to Manchester City and in a bid to force a transfer, the star striker did not not turn up for pre-season training sessions. The England captain is said to have informed the club on wanting to leave them, but Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy is refusing to sell and believes that Kane is still the main player at the club.
As per reports from 'The Gaurdian' Manchester City saw an £100m bid for the 28-year-old striker turned down as Tottenham Hotspurs are believed to value the player at around £160m, an amount Mancherter City aren't very keen to shell out. Kane was in great form last season scroing 33 goals across all competitions with 23 in the Premier League, helping him clinch the golden boot.
The striker was due for a COVID-19 test along with a some other tests but he failed to show up. One of the main reasons for him wanting to seal a transfer is due to the lack of Champions League football. Spurs still remain keen keep Kane but with the player failing to show up for two consecutives days now only time will tell how will the saga end.
