Harry Kane's representatives reportedly contacted Manchester City in February.
The Spurs striker came close to joining Pep Guardiola's side last summer as he sought a top-class centre-forward. That search ultimately led them to Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland who will link up with the Etihad outfit at the end of the season.
But it now appears Kane's team made one final effort to try and engineer a move for the England captain. It comes as Bryan Gil has opened up on his SPurs return following his loan to Spanish outfit Valencia.
