Harry Kane is expected to push for a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur, according to emerging reports...

What's the word?

Ian McGarry, who is one half of 'The Transfer Window' podcast alongside The Sunday Times journalist Duncan Castles, has claimed that the 28-year-old's representatives will try to negotiate a bumper extension to his current £200k-per-week contract after the striker's move to Manchester City never materialised.

"My information is that Kane’s position now is that his representative, who is his brother Charlie Kane, is hopeful of negotiating an upgrade on Kane’s current contract," he revealed.

“That would include a release clause, meaning that Kane could leave next summer or indeed in January for a set fee, rather than the haggling which went on during the last few months between City and Tottenham.

“Kane himself still sees his future as playing in a team that will win trophies, something that he has not experienced.”

The right move?

After a long saga throughout the summer transfer window, the England international finally put an end to speculation linking him with an exit to the defending champions.

It seems as if City were never prepared to pay in excess of £150m, having splashed £100m on his international teammate Jack Grealish from Aston Villa earlier in the window, and that has left Kane with relationships to repair.

That should be a fairly easy task considering just how crucial he is to this Lilywhites side. He scored or assisted 54.4% of all their league goals scored last season, and already this campaign, he sits top of the key passes per game charts by some margin, showing he can be a big influence under new manager Nuno Santo.

However, as a prolific goalscorer and a product from the club's youth academy, Kane has always been a fan favourite and popular figure around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This latest development only bodes well for their chances of keeping hold of him for the remainder of his career - and on the other hand, the inclusion of a release clause would mean that chairman Daniel Levy gets his way once again and that'll be for the benefit of the club rather than the player.

Spurs will get the services of Kane for the foreseeable future and that gives them the very best chance of success, given his influence. Similarly, if City - or another club - come calling again, the north Londoners will get every penny they deserve. It's a win-win and exactly why the Lilywhites faithful must be elated with this update.
