    Rumours have already emerged of United considering sending Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial to North London to cut down the reported £150million price tag.
    And former defender Neville has named Daniel James as another potential makeweight that could push through a deal, adding that the club’s fringe talent gives them an edge over City in the race for Kane.
    The 46-year-old told Sky Sports: “It’s difficult.
    “City don’t tend to break their budget, do they? [Their record is] £65m-£70m – they’re not going to get him for that.
    “So it’s whether they could get a player to Tottenham that would makeweight the deal.
    “And I think that’s what United maybe have in Martial, James and Lingard.

    “They’re types of players you could send [to Spurs] plus a chunk of money and it might make Daniel Levy happy.”
    Neville spoke to Kane for an in-depth interview that was released last week, where the England star spoke openly about his future.
    However the pundit was not convinced that he would push hard for a move and would ‘not be surprised’ if Kane stayed at Tottenham.
    Neville continued: “In that interview with me he never said he wanted to leave Tottenham or he was going to leave Tottenham.

    “I don’t know what part of the interview people think he said that.
    “He said there was a conversation to be had and if the chairman wants to accept a bid for him. He never said he wanted to leave.
    “I think he’s obviously at a point in his career where it’s a reflection point. It’s the same for Tottenham as well I would think.”

    It is thought Kane would prefer a move to the Etihad and the opportunity to work with playmaker De Bruyne appears to be a tempting one.
    During an episode of The Overlap, the striker was asked by Gary Neville who he dreams of playing in front of.
    Kane didn’t hesitate and replied: “De Bruyne for sure.
    “When I watch De Bruyne play… he’s a special, special player.
    “And some of the balls I see him put in for City are just a striker’s dream if I’m honest.
    “You see it year in year out, he’s an outstanding player.
    “With the ball, off the ball, pressing. But his delivery is as good as I’ve ever seen.”

    SunSport revealed this week that City and United are formulating an £80million, five-year contract offer to persuade Kane to join.
    The England star is expected to cost north of £120m in terms of a transfer fee, despite his warning to chairman Daniel Levy that the club will never make as much money through a sale as they will now.
    He said earlier in the interview: “I don’t know, I mean [Levy] might want to sell me.
    “He might be thinking, ‘If I could get £100m for you, then why not?’.
    “I’m not going to be worth that for the next two or three years.”

    Nevertheless, United and Chelsea in particular are said to be weighing up players-plus-cash deals to get the transfer over the line.
    The Red Devils have reportedly eyed Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial to potentially head to North London.
    And Thomas Tuchel could dangle outcasts Tammy Abraham and Kepa Arrizabalaga in Spurs’ direction – or even Callum Hudson-Odoi.

    Chelsea ‘willing to offer Tammy Abraham and Kepa in ambitious swap transfer for Harry Kane’ as Man Utd and City circle

    TOTTENHAM could be offered Kepa Arrizabalaga or Tammy Abraham in Chelsea’s bid to sign Harry Kane.The Blues are in the mix to snap up the striker, 27, after he told Spurs of his desire to leave at the end of the season.

    Manchester clubs United and City were revealed by SunSport this week to be preparing an £80million, five-year contract offer for the player.
    But a huge transfer fee will also be required, potentially up to £150m, as Spurs seek to hold onto their star forward.
    Therefore several reports of part-exchange deals have emerged with United said to be willing to let Anthony Martial or Jesse Lingard sign for Tottenham to reduce the cash payment.
    According to ESPN, Chelsea are also considering this route with a number of fringe players eyed for a swap.
    Record signing Kepa is one such player having failed to cement his place as the Blues’ goalkeeper – while Spurs have been tipped to let Hugo Lloris go.
    Callum Hudson-Odoi and Abraham are reportedly part of the discussion as Stamford Bridge bosses weigh up their summer plans.
    Thomas Tuchel is set to be given £150m to turn Chelsea back into a Premier League title winning force.
    Erling Haaland had been linked with the attack and central defence eyed for improvement.

    But the opportunity to send academy graduate Abraham, 23, to North London in the Kane deal is reportedly tempting.
    The striker has not scored a league goal in 2021 and was hauled off at half-time of both his league starts since Tuchel’s arrival.
    However, Tottenham are described as reluctant to sell anyone to their London rivals given the standoffish relationship between the clubs.
    Roman Abramovich has refused to let Chelsea players sign for their London rivals, with Carlton Cole revealing he once blocked him from making the switch.

    Serge Aurier nearing PSG transfer return as talks between Tottenham star’s entourage and old club ‘accelerate’

    TOTTENHAM star Serge Aurier is reportedly in talks with old club Paris Saint-Germain over a return.The Ivory Coast international has been in and out of the Spurs side this season, and could be set for a link up with his old boss Mauricio Pochettino.

    Foot Mercato is reporting that talks between the player and his team and PSG are ‘accelerating’.
    Aurier is likely to cost around £10million, with PSG technical director Leonardo seemingly keen for the move to happen.
    Reports are that Aurier will be offered a four-year contract and while Spurs supremo Daniel Levy has not received a firm offer, ‘talks between the two clubs have taken off’.
    And importantly, Pochettino is also ‘favourable’ to Aurier joining his side next season.
    Aurier left PSG for Spurs in 2017 in a £22.5m deal.
    But the 28-year-old has never looked like cementing the right-back position as his own.
    Pochettino currently has just one reliable right-back option at PSG in Roma loanee Alessandro Florenzi.
    The player himself is apparently eager to return as he feels he has unfinished business in the French capital.

    And according to reports, Spanish giants Real Madrid are considering their own shock move for Aurier.
    According to AS, Los Blancos are on the hunt to bolster their options at right-back and have made an enquiry over his availability.
    Dani Carvajal has suffered injury woes this season while Lucas Vazquez is expected to depart when his contract expires next month.
    Therefore Aurier could be a suitable option.

    Jose Mourinho ‘looking to raid Tottenham for FOUR stars including Hojbjerg and Dier transfers for Roma this summer’

    JOSE MOURINHO could follow in Antonio Conte’s footsteps and revamp his Roma squad with Premier League stars.Former Chelsea boss Conte won this season’s Serie A with Inter Milan thanks in part to his raid on the English top-flight.

    And recently-sacked Tottenham coach Mourinho is reportedly considering a similar transfer spree ahead of his move to Roma.
    As many as four of his Spurs favourites, along with an old Manchester United star, are said to be on his radar.
    According to Football.London, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura are both liked by the 58-year-old but his successor in North London may be against a sale.
    Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are also named by Corriere dello Sport as possible recruits.
    Mourinho was hammered by some Tottenham fans for keeping faith with England international Dier.
    While the addition of Hojbjerg was a rare plus point for the Portuguese coach and he reportedly remains a big fan of the midfielder.

    The report also outlines the Giallorossi’s plans for a new goalkeeper with Juan Musso, Alex Meret, Pierluigi Gollini and Alessio Cragno all eyed.
    Adding fresh energy to the attack will be another key aspect of the club’s summer and Torino star Andrea Belotti has been linked.
    Transfer funds will not be in huge abundance for the new Roma boss and Juan Mata is another tipped to be of interest, ahead of his Manchester United contract expiring.
    Justin Kluivert and Cengiz Under could also be reintroduced following loan spells in 2020-21.

    The Stadio Olimpico side face the Red Devils in the Europa League semi-final second leg on Thursday, their first game since Paulo Fonseca’s summer departure was announced.
    Down 6-2 on aggregate, Roma may find themselves out of Europe next season as they cling onto seventh place in Serie A.
    Mourinho is reportedly preparing to freshen up the club’s backroom staff with midfield legend Daniele De Rossi touted to join once he completes his coaching badges.

    Ryan Mason hails ‘true professional’ Harry Kane after Tottenham’s Carabao Cup defeat as he dodges transfer question

    RYAN MASON refused to discuss Harry Kane’s Tottenham future after their Carabao Cup final defeat.Spurs fans fear another season without a trophy will increase the chances of striker Kane quitting the club in the summer.

    But when asked what the future holds for his England captain, interim boss Mason simply replied: “He’s got training this week and will be preparing for a very important match this weekend.
    “Harry’s a true professional and that’s about it.”
    Mason also insisted Kane was fit to start, despite a lacklustre display on his return from an ankle injury.
    He said: “He’s fit. There were no problems with him whatsoever. He took a couple of hits in the game but his ankle is fine.”
    Now Mason — placed in charge of Tottenham for the rest of the season — has called on his stars to make up for their Wembley heartache by snatching a European spot.
    Spurs face Sheffield United at home on Sunday and Mason said: “Leading up to the final, all of our focus was on this.
    “My players gave their all and I cannot fault their commitment.
    “But we’ve lost and it’s hard to take but now we have to overcome it, accept it and move on.

    “Sunday’s match is massive now. We could still qualify for Europe.”
    Wth five games to go, Tottenham sit seventh but Everton, a point behind, have a game in hand.
    Third-placed Leicester are only six points ahead in the hugely-congested race for Europe, and the Foxes welcome Spurs to the King Power on the final day of the season.

    Vestergaard, 28, has been a regular in the Saints line-up since a 2018 move from Borussia Monchengladbach.
    But his contract expiring in 2022 could force the club’s hand if serious interest arises in the summer.
    According to Italian portal TuttoMercatoWeb, Spurs are working on setting up a meeting with the player’s entourage.
    Roma could steal a march on their progress however with club general manager Tiago Pinto tipped to discuss a switch with Vestergaard’s representatives next week.
    The Giallorossi are described as long-term admirers of the towering defender and could be set for a rebuild this summer under a new coach.
    Juventus are also named as keeping tabs on Vestergaard, although there is no word on imminent talks to gauge a deal.

    Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl insisted earlier this month that the club will ‘do everything’ to keep him on the South Coast.
    The Austrian stated: “It’s nothing new for our players that do a good job for us this season, that they are on the list for some bigger clubs.
    “You can be sure that this player has a contract for Southampton and for as long as he has this he is our player.
    “We will do everything to keep him here and to protect him for everything.”

    Vestergaard featured in Southampton’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham in midweek, the North London side’s first game since sacking Jose Mourinho.
    And he recently admitted it was a boost to see ‘big clubs’ linked with his name.
    The Dane said: “I can only say that of course it’s always a pat on the back with stories of interest from other big clubs.
    “But right now I have a contract with Southampton so, it’s not something I can talk about.”
