As with any transfer window, rumours always persist surrounding the future of Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur.

The England talisman is starved of the silverware that his goalscoring exploits and talismanic nature deserves but he's a Lilywhite at heart.

That said, no one would ever blame him for leaving, should that day ever arrive - and he's got plenty of suitors.

CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs recently provided a huge update on the situation to Caught Offside.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are two interested parties from abroad but there's a belief that the 29-year-old will want to remain in the Premier League, to which the reliable journalist said:

"I think at the moment he does want to re-sign with Spurs. But if that changes, I think Manchester United and Chelsea could come into the conversation.

"The Chelsea ownership are huge admirers of Harry Kane, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be bought or sold."

If Kane were ever to leave north London, then it doesn't appear as if Spurs would be well prepared. However, there is a young striker making waves in the youth setup in Will Lankshear.

Despite being only 17 and potentially behind Troy Parrott and Dane Scarlett in the pecking order, the free-scoring forward could well be Kane's heir apparent instead.

Indeed, the former Sheffield United gem has been called up by manager Antonio Conte to first-team training on a few occasions, so the Italian head coach has clearly already been impressed by his potential.

After being prolific for the youth setup at Bramall Lane, the promising teenager has already found the net seven times across 11 appearances, including a hat-trick against West Ham U18s and a goal against Sporting CP in the UEFA Youth League.

Such form has seen him dubbed a "complete finisher" and "phenomenal" by insider John Wenham to Football Insider.

The "highly-rated" Lankshear - in the words of Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas - could therefore be the heir to Kane's throne at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and given the fact that he's already here, having cost as little as £2.5m, he'll save chairman Daniel Levy millions in future transfer windows.

It's surely only a matter of time before the "hotshot" - as described by journalist Nathan Hemmingham - is in and around Kane on a daily basis as his advice could be invaluable as Spurs look to find his true long-term successor.

AND in other news, Conte could finally land his £48m "Rolls-Royce" by ditching £62k-p/w Spurs "liability"...
