TOTTENHAM remain “very optimistic” that Harry Kane will reject a move to Manchester United or Bayern Munich in favour of signing a new long-term contract, according to reports.
Kane, 29, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in recent months.
Both Man Utd and Bayern Munich have expressed an interest in signing him in a mega money transfer when the summer window opens.
But, Tottenham are convinced that he will stay in north London.
According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, club chiefs are “very optimistic” that he will pen a new deal.
Kane’s current contract expires in June 2024, but following recent talks between his agent and Tottenham, the striker is close to agreeing fresh terms.
