      Kane, 29, has been in fine form this season despite Spurs’ struggles, scoring 24 goals in 32 Premier League matches.
      He has proved to be the most important striker in the league, having contributed to 42 per cent of Spurs’ goal total in the league.
      However, it is becoming increasingly likely that he will not sign a new contract at the North London club, according to The Telegraph.
      The report also suggests that United are trying to establish the “best way” to make an “early move” for Kane having made him their Plan A option.

      It comes after The Sun revealed earlier this month that United had made contact with Kane’s camp through a third party.
      We also told how the Red Devils believe they will land him this summer.
      Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is desperate to keep hold of the club’s talisman but with his contract running down it could be an impossible task.
      Kane’s deal at Tottenham expires at the end of next season and he would be free to leave the club for nothing.

      This is one of the reasons behind United’s haste to iron out a deal as they do not want to be involved in a saga that runs for the length of the window.
      If that were to happen, the Old Trafford side would run the risk of missing out on other transfer targets such as Victor Osimhen, who is considered as a Plan B.
      United have also been linked with the likes of Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, Lille’s Jonathan David and Borussia Monchengladbach ace Marcus Thuram in the past.
      The report states that Ley’s asking price for Kane will be £100million for Premier League clubs.
      Although, there is a suggestion for foreign clubs the price tag would only be £80m.
      Kane has been linked with moves to Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich, but his preference is thought to be to stay in England.
      Manager Erik ten Hag wants the club to sign two strikers this summer to bolster his attacking options.
      Brighton’s breakout star Evan Ferguson is another target for the club, but the Dutch boss is also keen on signing a more experienced forward.

      The Times reports that the person alleged to have stolen the artwork, Nabila Habiby, is said to have used some of the art as security to apply for a loan.
      The publication also reports that the Metropolitan police charged Habiby in December with a trial set to take place in January at Wood Green Crown Court.
      Habiby, from Belgium, was reportedly charged with offences of theft and two of fraud by false representation.
      She is believed to have denied wrongdoing.

      The art that was allegedly stolen is reported to include works of London street artist Paul Insect, who became popular for his spray paint craft.
      Habiby is alleged to have stolen 35 pieces of Insect’s art between 2014 and 2016, collectively valued at £152,000.
      The artwork of American artist Ron English, dubbed the ‘Godfather of Street Art’, is also alleged to have been stolen.
      Davids, 50, is believed to have been made aware of alleged thefts in 2017 and reported them to police.

      It was when Davids was living in North London that the Dutch legend caused a sensation by becoming player manager for League 2 side Barnet.
      But despite his best efforts he could not save them from relegation and resigned halfway through their first season in the fifth tier.

      Despite his memorable playing career for the likes of Ajax, AC Milan and Juventus, Davids has not enjoyed the best time in management.
      His next job after Barnet was seven years later at Portuguese minnows Olhanense.
      But he was sacked after just seven “disastrous” months. More

      Jamie Carragher reveals his prediction for Kane summer transfer as Man Utd target Tottenham star

      by

      JAMIE CARRAGHER has predicted how Harry Kane’s summer will unfold.The Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit DOESN’T believe the Tottenham talisman will join Manchester United.

      The Red Devils are keen to add a goalscorer in the summer, and Kane is a reported target.
      However, Carragher reckons Daniel Levy will turn down an offer from Old Trafford.
      The Spurs chairman rebuffed Manchester City’s efforts to sign Kane in the summer of 2021.
      And Carragher reckons Levy will do the same and turn down an approach from the Red Devils in the upcoming transfer window.

      He believes United will then turn their attention elsewhere, with Napoli star Victor Osimhen another reported target.
      In Carragher’s opinion, Kane will then stay at Spurs as he has his sights set on breaking the all-time Premier League scoring record.
      Carragher tweeted on Sunday: “#Kane saga!
      “Levy will turn down an offer from MU [Manchester United], who will then have to sign another striker this summer.

      “Then every top team in the PL [Premier League] has a striker, Kane wants the PL [Premier League] goal record so he won’t go abroad for free the next summer.
      “I think he signs for Spurs!”
      Kane is out of contract at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
      But his consolation goal in Sunday’s embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle took him to 207 Premier League goals.
      That is just 53 strikes behind Toon icon Alan Shearer’s all-time record.
      So Carragher can’t see Kane leaving the Prem, although Bayern Munich have been linked with a swoop for the England captain. More

      Newcastle 6 Tottenham 1: Spurs suffer humiliating first-half capitulation as Toon take giant step towards top four place

      by

      TOTTENHAM sunk to a new low as they were blitzed by top four rivals Newcastle in a nightmare opening 21 minutes.And now Eddie Howe’s side are dreaming of a return to Europe’s top table after thrashing hapless Spurs in front of a rocking St. James’ Park.

      Billed as a battle for the Champions League, Newcastle would have been given a tougher game by local ninth-tier side Heaton Stannington. 
      Even for shambolic Spurs’ standards, this was a horrifying new low.

      Some of their shell-shocked supporters started making the 280-mile trip back home after the Magpies’ third just nine minutes in.

      Given how high they are housed in the Leazes End, it would have been 5-0 by the time those on the slow side made it to the bottom. 
      Howe’s Mags were exceptional as they took a giant leap towards securing a top-four finish, but they weren’t 5-0 up inside 21 minutes brilliant. 
      For that to happen you need a willing partner to roll over, and Tottenham were more than happy to oblige. 
      Starting with a four-man defence for the first time in 15 months, nobody had a clue what they were doing.

      Not for the first time, Antonio Conte was proved right about this hopeless rabble. Three, four, or five, it makes no difference when they’re individually as bad as this lot.

      No shape, no urgency and certainly no commitment or fight.
      At half-time on Sky, ex-defender Danny Rose – who hasn’t kicked a ball for 16 months – laughed: “All I’ve been thinking all half is how am I unemployed!”
      Forget about the Champions League – they are now six points off fourth – there’s a good chance they’ll miss out on Europe altogether now. 
      Despite not finishing below seventh since 2008/09, nobody who watched this car crash would bet against that happening now. 
      A broken football club from top to bottom, this will sting for a long time. 
      For the Geordies, life doesn’t get any better. 
      Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak both bagged braces, with the £60million Swede taking his season’s tally to 10 in his 11th start. 
      Joelinton and Callum Wilson scored the others, leaving Howe’s side third and six points ahead of the chasing pack as they look to seal Champions League football for the first time in 20 years. 
      Just 59 seconds were on the clock when the rout began. 
      Joelinton picked it up on the left wing before cutting inside past two hopeless challenges.

      The Brazilian’s low effort was saved by Hugo Lloris but he could only parry to Murphy, who buried into the roof. 
      Spurs fans immediately started chanting ‘We want Levy out’ – yet it was about to get a whole lot worse for them before long. 
      Joelinton made it 2-0 six minutes in, darting in off his left wing to pick up Fabian Schar’s raking ball  before taking it around Lloris slotting into an empty net. 
      A great goal but what on earth was right-back Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero doing allowing him in like that? 
      Next up was Murphy’s second three minutes later, a 25-yard thunderbolt beyond the rooted Lloris. 
      A brilliant strike leaving the winger genuinely shocked he had it in him but it was woeful from Eric Dier Son Heung-min this time. 
      The ball into him was poor and the South Korean was weak, allowing Fabian Schar to nick it off him with ease. 
      By this stage the Spurs players were arguing everywhere you looked. 
      Interim boss Stellini was ranting and raving, pointing here and there – not that anybody is listening to him anymore. 
      The North Londoners had never been 3-0 down inside 10 minutes in the Prem before. 
      The heavens then opened, and it was raining more goals before long. 
      Callum Wilson added more misery as he grabbed a sixthCredit: Getty
      To be fair to Tottenham, they held on for another 10 minutes before it was four. 
      Dejan Kulusevski lost on the left of Toon’s box, with Joe Willock driving towards halfway and releasing Isak in behind Eric Dier with a gorgeous pass with the outside of his boot. 
      The Swede buried into the bottom corner – and he did exactly the same TWO minutes later. 
      Some neat play down the right had Spurs chasing shadows before Sean Longstaff’s backheel teed Isak up to shoot across the hapless Lloris. 
      It was about keeping it to single figures now with 70 minutes remaining, so Davinson Sanchez – mercilessly booed by his own fans last week – was on for Pape Sarr to shore things up. 

      Skipper Lloris was hooked at the break for Fraser Forster and the supporters still inside St James’ celebrated ironically when Harry Kane made it 5-1 in the 49th minute. 
      Yet any hopes of damage limitation were ruined when sub Callum Wilson diverted Miguel Almiron’s wayward shot home with his first touch, 65 seconds after replacing Isak.  More

      And Spurs have initiated contact with Sporting over potentially signing Goncalves, according to Record in Portugal.
      Goncalves, who can play out wide or in the middle, previously spent time with Wolves.
      But some Tottenham fans have been left baffled by the rumours.
      Supporters have questioned why work is reportedly being done on transfers, despite the club not currently having a permanent manager.

      Transfer chief Fabio Paratici also quit the club in midweek after he failed to overturn his ban from certain football activities.
      One aggrieved fan wrote on Twitter: “Signing players without having a manager is very Spursy. The board need to step down ASAP.”

      Chelsea AND Spurs fans fume as Pochettino becomes odds-on favourite for Blues job after Nagelsmann pulls out

      by

      SunSport confirmed in January that he was on Chelsea’s radar.
      And now he is being linked as a permanent replacement for Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.
      Chelsea contacted him over the job and now several reports are claiming that he has boosted his chances of landing the gig after “a series of positive talks” between him and the West London club.
      However, due to his Tottenham connections, many Blues supporters do not want him anywhere near their dug-out.

      Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim is also now seen as an outsider for the Chelsea role.
      But Luis Enrique has NOT been placed among the top candidates for the position.
      The Spaniard, 52, flew to London for talks with club bosses two weeks ago, but things have not progressed since then.
      And that could leave the door open for Spurs – who are keen on the ex-Barcelona man despite Daniel Levy previously holding reservations about his lack of Premier League experience.
      Poch has also been linked with a return, and some supporters that are desperate to have him back are fuming with the Chelsea speculation.
      One wrote: “Why would you want Poch if he’s been talking to Chelsea? No thanks.”
      While another said: “Please Poch, don’t go to Chelsea. Please. That will be the finisher, I can’t take any more hits…..”
      Pochettino is one of Spurs’ most successful and popular managers in recent history – despite failing to win a trophy with the club.
      He averaged 1.89 points per game – the most for any Tottenham boss in Premier League history with a minimum of 38 Premier League games in charge.
