KANE REACTION
Tottenham star Harry Kane has previously insisted he doesn’t let any transfer speculation shift his attention away from England and Euro 2020.
Kane previously said: “Absolutely not.
“All my focus is on how I can help this team and how we can be successful in this tournament.
“I understand from a media point of view there is speculation, but I am fully focused on the job here”
KANE DO THAT
Tottenham are set to reject Manchester City’s whopping £100million offer for star striker Harry Kane.
City are determined to sign Kane in the summer transfer window and are even willing to swap a few players, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Aymeric Laporte already linked with a move to north London.
According to The Guardian, however, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is determined to keep the England captain, who has three years left in his contract.
Kane has informed the north Londoners he wishes to leave in the summer and has also been linked with Chelsea as well as Manchester United
EURO STARS
Gareth Southgate is set to stick with what he knows when England play Czech Republic tomorrow.
Despite calls for Jack Grealish and Jadon Sancho to be involved, Southgate is instead likely to keep faith with the same group that drew 0-0 with Scotland and barely beat Croatia 1-0.
Indeed, the only changes that are set to be made are full-backs Luke Shaw and Reece James dropping out for Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker again.
CITIZEN KANE
Man City have launched a £100MILLION cash bid for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, according to reports.
It is believed the Premier League champions are willing to include one or more players in the deal, including England star Raheem Sterling.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, City have offered Spurs £100m ‘guaranteed’ for Kane, 27.
City are also reportedly willing to include players in the deal, with Sterling, Aymeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesus among those rumoured.
It is understood Tottenham chief Daniel Levy will not accept City’s offer – and Kane’s future will not be decided until after Euro 2020.
MOUR’S SERG
Jose Mourinho is reportedly looking to usurp his old club Manchester United and sign his former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos for Roma, writes GARY STONEHOUSE.
The legendary Spanish centre-half will leave the Bernabeu after an epic 16-year stint at the end of the month when his contract expires.
Ramos, 35, is believed to want a two-year contract worth £200,000-a-week as he plots his next move.
Those demands saw both Man City and Paris Saint-Germain drop out of the race to sign him.
And with Ramos already ruling out a return to Sevilla and a controversial Barcelona switch, United appeared to be his biggest and best option this summer as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked to partner him with captain Harry Maguire.
However, Calciomercato claims new Roma boss Mourinho wants to bring the defender to the Italian capital.

West Ham have had a loan with an option to buy offer turned down for Cagliari striker Giovanni Simeone, according to reports.

‘UTD & LIVERPOOL WERE SUPER LEAGUE DRIVING FORCES’
Barcelona chief Joan Laporta claims Manchester United and Liverpool were the ‘real founders’ of the controversial European Super League.
The football world was stunned in April when 12 of the continent’s top clubs – including the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ – announced they were forming a breakaway division.
The closed-shop project would have replaced the Champions League and guaranteed annual participation for its ‘Dirty Dozen’ founders.
However, a furious fan backlash prompted nine members to swiftly withdraw, leaving just Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus in the ESL.
But despite looking like one of the main guilty parties, Barcelona president Laporta insists that English giants United and Liverpool were the original orchestrators of the ESL.
Laporta claimed: “Liverpool and United were the real founders of the Super League.
“Uefa threatened and was demagogic. The clubs have still not paid the compensation for leaving.
“The Super League project is alive. It will be the most attractive competition in the world, and it will be based on meritocracy and solidarity.”
ENGLAND’S ‘YIKES!’ TO DYKES
Scotland hardman Lyndon Dykes claims England did not like it up ’em when they collided at Wembley on Friday night.
The Aussie-born striker made his intentions clear right from the off when he clattered Luke Shaw in the first minute of the cross-border clash.
And England’s spiky reaction to the physical approach left Dykes convinced he had rattled Gareth Southgate’s men.
He said: “It set the tone when I smashed into Shaw and I think that a few of the boys from the England team didn’t really want it.
“It was right from the kick-off and it was up to me to win the first challenge and I’ve taken him out as well, so it was a good start for us.
“It wasn’t deliberate but I caught him with my knee on his leg and I knew he didn’t like it.
“Shaw didn’t say anything but the referee tried to make me say sorry after I’d got him.
“The ref had actually pulled me in the warm-up before the game had even started and tried to warn me about my headers and stuff.
“But if the ball is there to be won I’m going to challenge for it and that’s what I did.”
