Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want an up-front payment of £100million if they are to sell star striker Harry Kane in the upcoming summer transfer window. As reported by The Times , Spurs are hopeful that rejecting an offer consisting of instalments will deter
Manchester United from pursuing a move for the
England captain. MEN Sport understands that Erik ten Hag is intent on signing Kane as he approaches the final year of his contract. It adds that the
London club believe the Reds do not want to be involved in lengthy negotiations as it could delay their plans to improve their forward line. While Bayern Munich and
Real Madrid have also been linked with the 29-year-old,
Tottenham feel the frontman would prefer to remain in England as he aims to break Alan Shearer's record of 260
Premier League goals.

United, meanwhile, could choose to make a move for Napoli frontman Victor Osimhen, who has scored 21 goals in 23 Serie A matches this term. Elsewhere, The Telegraph have reported that Newcastle United are planning a summer bid for Reds midfielder Scott McTominay , with the Magpies having previously shown interest in the 26-year-old. The report claims that Eddie Howe is a big fan of the Scotsman and believes he can add physical attributes to his midfield. It adds that Newcastle are confident of landing the player, with Ten Hag expected to allow a number of players to leave Old Trafford in order to raise funds for summer additions. McTominay has made 32 appearances for United in all competitions this season, but he has fallen behind Casemiro , Christian Eriksen, Fred and Marcel Sabitzer in the pecking order. He has featured on more than 200 occasions for the Reds during his time with the club. He was also part of the side that defeated Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final in February.
