Harry Kane sends Antonio Conte message that makes Tottenham desire clear

Harry Kane has dropped his clearest hint yet that he is staying at Tottenham.

England captain Kane pushed to leave White Hart Lane last summer when he was involved in the biggest transfer of the window with Manchester City wanting to sign him.

But Kane is much happier now after Antonio Conte took over at Tottenham and led them into the Champions League.

City have signed Erling Harland, Manchester United have been interested but it seems increasingly likely the 28-year-old will stay and could even sign a new deal with two years left on his current deal.

When asked about his future, Kane said: "First and foremost I'm looking forward to getting away, but the plan is to be get back on July 8 and head to Korea with the boys.

"I look forward to another season. I got on really well with Antonio in the time he was there and I'm looking forward to next season and what's to come."

Then when he was asked about signing a new contract, he added: "I'm not getting into that today."

But it was very clear that Kane is now only focused on staying at Tottenham and is also relishing a new challenge of trying to regain the Golden Boot after the arrival of Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland to the Premier League.

Kane added: "The battle for the Golden Boot's always tough, the Premier League has produced top strikers from around the world for a number of years now.

"Every season I've been playing it's always been a tough battle to win that Golden Boot and you expect the top strikers to want to play in the Premier League and it shows with those two signings that's going to be the case.

"It helps, it helps me as a player to have good competition and hopefully to improve and get better, so for sure I look forward to the challenge."
