Reports of Harry Kane being poised to make a £160m move to Manchester City this summer has incited a mixed response from some Spurs fans on social media.
Kane’s future has been the subject of plenty of speculation over the past few months but reports suggest that Tottenham continued to maintain that the striker was not for sale behind the scenes.
The Sun revealed last night that chairman Daniel Levy had made a U-turn and agreed to make the England captain available for sale to City for £160m.
However, this claim that been dismissed by reliable sources including Football.London’s Alasdair Gold and The Athletics’ Charlie Eccleshare, who have suggested that Tottenham’s stance regarding Kane has not changed.
On hearing the initial report about Kane’s impending move to City, some Spurs fans on social media insisted that they would cash in on the striker for the reported transfer fee and reinvest the money into the squad.
However, others insisted the 28-year-old would be irreplaceable for the Lilywhites irrespective of the fee while a few refused to believe that there was any truth at all in The Sun’s report.

It remains to be seen if there is any truth to The Sun’s report but it does seem like there are some behind the scens who are doing everything in their power to engineer a move for the forward.
If City are willing to make a £160m offer, I believe it would be in Tottenham’s best interest to accept it.
Kane is not going to fetch a similar price next summer and that kind of money in a post-pandemic market would be enough for a substantial squad rebuild.
