Amid heavy links to Manchester City all summer long, striker Harry Kane failed to show at Tottenham Hotspur training on both Monday and Tuesday.
However, he is expected to report back to the training ground before the week concludes, according to ESPN FC. City are set to complete the £100m addition of Jack Grealish today, and they’re looking to continue splashing the cash this summer on the Tottenham talisman too.
Earlier this summer, it was reported that the Etihad outfit have reportedly placed a £100m bid for the face of English football, and that they’re willing to go all the way up to £130m in order to get their man says The Athletic.
That said, White Hart Lane simply does not wish to part ways with their 28-year-old franchise player. If they end up having to, it will only be to the tune of £150m, reportedly.
So obviously the two sides are still substantially apart, and it could take awhile, even despite the wishes of Harry Kane to move on to a new destination, somewhere that he could win trophies.
Harry Kane has recently completed his extended holiday, which came after he helped lead England to a title game appearance at Euro 2020.
