    England captain Kane pushed for a move to Manchester City in 2021 before staying in North London side and appearing more happy to be there after Conte took over.
    However, with Conte out of contract next summer and his future uncertain, Sherwood believes Tottenham may suffer a triple loss with Kane and Son following him out the door.
    He told Sky Sports: “Let’s face it, he (Conte) only has until the end of the season.
    “I mean he’s not signed a new contract. You are asking Harry Kane and Son to extend their contracts, why would you extend your contract?

    “If you believe in this manager and if your manager is going to be there until the end of the season, you have to make a decision on him, very soon. There is speculation of him going back to Italy.
    “He is lauded in Italy for the style of how he wants to play. This year he has to win, if he doesn’t win this year, then he will leave.”
    Bayern Munich have a well-documented interest in Kane, while South Korean talisman Son has previously been monitored by the likes of Real Madrid.
    After overseeing a remarkable turnaround last season which powered Spurs into the top four, Conte has just seen his side lose three of their last five league games.

    TYSON FURY could not resist mocking Tottenham after they handed him a personalised shirt ahead of his fight with Derek Chisora.After the collapse in talks over a Battle of Britain clash with Anthony Joshua, which won the Gypsy King £10,000 after a bet with Frank Warren, Fury will now face Derek Chisora instead on December 3 at Tottenham in a trilogy clash.

    The Manchester United supporting Fury – who could potentially be Morecambe’s new owner – will also be joined at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium by fellow heavyweight Daniel Dubois who is competing on the undercard.
    The 34-year-old WBC title holder was in North London yesterday to promote the fight ahead of tickets going on sale today.
    And for one of the promotional shots, the 6ft 9in powerhouse posed inside the Spurs dressing-room in front of one of their shirts that had the fight date on its back.
    He then shared a shot of the image on Instagram, and he could not help himself from poking fun at the fact that his beloved United had beaten Spurs 2-0 the previous evening at Old Trafford.

    Along with the words “Manchester United” and a love heart, he captioned it with: “Thank you @Spurs ! For today, December the 3rd… and last night.”
    Spurs have issued a warning to anyone planning on attending on what could be a freezing winter night.
    In their official announcement confirming the news, they wrote: “Please note, this will be an open-air event with a likelihood of winter conditions at the time of year it is taking place.
    “Ticket purchasers are strongly advised to wear appropriate clothing on the night as all seating within the stadium is outdoor.”

    Fury vs Chisora 3 will be the second boxing event to take place at Tottenham’s shiny £1bn stadium.
    The 62,850-seater arena was the setting for Anthony Joshua’s first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021.
    Booking the fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium means that it will take place outdoors – despite potentially baltic December conditions.
    The ring will be under cover, but fans seated on the pitch could be open to the elements.
    The weather in London on December 3 last year peaked at 9 degrees in the day, dropping to 6 degrees in the evening.
    When Frank Bruno fought Joe Bugner at the old White Hart Lane in October 1987, fighters wrapped themselves in blankets between rounds.
    Not too many fans will be bowled over by Fury’s opponent, considering how comfortably the Gypsy King won his first two clashes with Chisora.
    He claimed a comfortable unanimous decision victory in 2011, before forcing Del Boy to retire on his stool in the 10th round of their rematch three years later. More

    In fact, the 34-year-old Mancunian already has his eye on his next two opponents after December.
    Fury fancies taking on Anthony Joshua’s two-time conqueror Oleksandr Usyk so he can hold every heavyweight crown at once.

    Fury, though, claims it’s unlikely his long-teased meeting with Joshua will ever happen.
    He said: “I don’t think so… You can’t make someone do something they don’t want to do.” More

    Conte admits that the North Londoners have been “struggling” in high-level Premier League matches and their track record this season proves that.
    Tottenham have yet to beat a top-four side as they drew 2-2 with Chelsea in August and also lost 3-1 to rivals Arsenal earlier this month.

    And this is why the Italian tactician doesn’t expect his team to challenge for the Premier League title.
    The ex-Chelsea boss insists Spurs still “need time” despite the major improvement he inspired ever since his arrival in November.

    Conte said: “Every time we play a game at high level, we struggle.
    “We struggle against Chelsea, Chelsea dominated the game – I want to be honest.
    “With Arsenal we lost and today [Wednesday] against United we lost. For sure, when the level is high we are going to struggle.
    “Sometimes I hear that we [Tottenham] are title contenders and I think we need time.
