ANTONIO CONTE has dropped a big hint on Harry Kane’s future.
England captain Harry Kane has been extensively linked with a transfer over the summer window, with the likes of Manchester United very interested.
Previous reports have suggested Tottenham will demand £100million for their record goalscorer, but United chiefs believe they will lower this if Spurs finish outside of the top four.
However, other reports suggest the North Londoners will block Kane from leaving and risk his contract expiring in 2024.
Regardless, Conte has confirmed the club’s intention to keep Kane, but gave no assurances over such a move.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of the clash against Southampton, Conte said: “For sure, the club wants to involve Harry Kane for the rest of his career in my opinion.

“Because when you have this type of player, a world class striker like him, for sure you want him to stay here for the rest of his career.
“But then you know football, you know football.
“Sometimes it’s unpredictable but I think it’s not in my task to make a decision. This is a decision for the club and for Harry.”
Kane is enjoying another stellar season, scoring 22 goals and adding four assists in all competitions. With his league tally bettered only by Erling Haaland.

Dusan Vlahovic has been linked in the event United cannot land Kane, though Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is likely to be their other main option for the position.
But despite Osimhen’s exploits, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry reckons United should sign Kane due to his Prem experience.
