Gentleman’s agreement or not, Kane should never have assumed he could force through a move to Manchester City
After all that, it took only eight words for Harry Kane to confirm the news most
Tottenham supporters had been desperately hoping to hear. Yet while the
England captain’s tweet on Wednesday lunchtime may not have come as that much of a surprise following a summer transfer saga that has never really taken off, its contents were clearly designed to build bridges at the club he joined as an 11-year-old.
“I will be staying at Tottenham this summer,” wrote Kane in a message that will have certainly made the Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, smile, “and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success.”
