Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has urged Harry Kane to stay at Tottenham this summer amid links with a potential exit from the club. The England captain is nearing the final 12 months of his contract with the Lilywhites, prompting plenty of doubts over his future with the club.
Manchester United are among the likes of PSG and Bayern Munich that have been linked with a switch, with their need for a striker becoming clear. Whether they'd be able to tempt Kane or even chairman Daniel Levy into a move remains to be seen though as the summer transfer window draws nearer.
Kane dropped a potential hint over his future when discussing it in an interview with Sky Sports, saying: "It's an important moment for the club, to feel a connection again with the fans, who I know have been frustrated with these moments. We need to try to build that relationship back up and try to push all in the same direction."

Part of that pushing in the same direction could come with a contract renewal, though at this stage, it appears as though that won't be completed before the summer window, with rumours swirling. Amid the uncertainty, former Arsenal boss Wenger has given some advice on the next steps for the striker.
He said on BeIN Sport: "If you are his agent, Harry Kane has one year to go, in one year he is completely free, what do you tell him? Give your club a last chance and then you go. It’s not about money, but, in the end, it’s always about money. He will not go for less than £80million. You don’t find strikers of that quality.
"Is it down the character of the players or is it down to the whole atmosphere inside the training ground or the coaches? I don’t know. You need to live every day with players to know what’s really going on, and what works and what doesn’t work. You have to create a culture inside the club that allows the players to perform.
"You need clear rules for everybody to see what you tolerate and what you don’t tolerate. When you talk about values, most of the time it is [about] what is not tolerated. Players like Harry Kane have high standards. He is now frustrated because for years the team looked on the way up. Since two or three years they look to have failed again."
It remains to be seen where Kane's path will lead him, but at this stage, the added uncertainty will keep the guessing game going until there's a decision made.
