Kane targets Tottenham silverware after Man City transfer speculation

Having expressed his desire to leave Spurs at the end of last season, the England captain was strongly linked with a record-breaking transfer to the Premier League champions during the window.

But despite City boss Pep Guardiola publicly stating his interest in the 28-year-old, a move failed to materialise with Spurs refusing to negotiate.

“I knew what the situation was between me and the club, and that’s the way it’ll stay,” he said.

“Everyone has their opinions on it, but that’s part of the parcel of the profession we’re in. I think anyone involved in the football industry knows the ins and outs.

“A lot of people that know me will say I’m a professional athlete who’s dedicated my life to this game and that’s what I’ll continue to do.

“I’m fully focused with club and country and looking forward to a great year.

“The aim has always been to win silverware with Tottenham and it’s been that aim every year.”
