FULL STORY: Levy refusing City's calls

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is refusing to pick up the phone to Manchester City after rejecting their improved £125million offer for Harry Kane, according to reports.

City have ramped up their pursuit of Kane, 28, heading into the final fortnight of the transfer window after seeing a £100million bid rejected earlier this summer.

The England captain remains keen on a move away from boyhood club Spurs and he believes he has a gentleman's agreement with Levy allowing him to depart.

But Tottenham supremo Levy is not willing to entertain the possibility of Kane leaving - and he has stopped answering City's calls.

Arsenal make Odegaard headway

Arsenal appear to be moving closer to a deal to sign Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard.

According to The Independent, the player's agents have arrived in London for talks ahead of a proposed move to sign the midfielder.

Spanish outlet AS say Carlo Ancelotti is willing to sell Odegaard after falling out of favour with the Italian coach.

The 22-year-old was reportedly left out of Saturday's squad for Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Alaves in La Liga after making it clear he wanted to be guaranteed a place in the first-team.
