Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, former Newcastle midfielder Rob Lee has laughed off claims that Harry Kane has said he wants to leave Tottenham this summer.

Kane's future at Spurs has been a major talking point for some time, with recent reports from The Athletic this month saying that the England captain will hand in a transfer request should Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League.

The striker is still waiting to win his first piece of silverware for the north London outfit, following Tottenham's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final last weekend.

Kane has been in scintillating form this term, and is the joint-top goalscorer and top assister in the Premier League this season having been directly involved in 34 goals in 30 appearances.

But whilst Lee believes that he could play for any side in the world, he's rubbished reports that Kane said he will push for a move away from Spurs.

He told Football FanCast:

"Until Harry Kane comes out and says 'I want to leave', I don't believe that his friends of friends have said 'yeah I know Harry Kane has told me this'.

"Why would he tell anyone that? Unless you're close - I think his brother is his agent. Why would he say that? I don't know if he would.

"I'm sure he wants to play at the top level, but does he want to stay at Tottenham and be a club legend as Alan did at Newcastle?

"Does he want to go abroad at Real Madrid or Barcelona or does he want to go to another Premier League club, but then he's got to play against his beloved Spurs.

"It's down to Harry Kane what he decides he wants to do. I think he's the best centre-forward in the world by quite a distance at the moment."
