Chelsea have been told that they may have one key advantage over rivals Manchester United in the race to sign Tottenham star Harry Kane this summer. The England international captain has been linked with an exit from north London in the coming months as uncertainty creeps in over his future.
Kane has just over 12-months remaining on his current contract with the Lilywhites and as the side struggle in cup competitions and without a clear idea of progression, there is doubt over a stay. The latest concern comes over the future of another key figure in head coach Antonio Conte.
The Italian boss has his own deal expire this summer and his impassioned rant after a draw against Southampton at the weekend has only strengthened claims of a potential departure. "I'm not used to seeing this type of situation," The manager said at the weekend. "I see a lot of selfish players and I don't see a team."
