Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Manchester City are still setting their sights on signing Harry Kane this summer.
Romano believes that there could be an update on the situation in the next few hours or days ahead but insisted that Tottenham are still of the opinion that the forward will not be leaving North London and it would take a crazy bid to change their stance.

“I think there will be some update on this situation in the next hours or days as Manchester City really want Harry Kane but we have to respect Tottenham’s position and Tottenham are still saying ‘no’, the player is not leaving.
