Kane has been vocal during the summer about wanting to win trophies and play in the Champions League. Tottenham will not be playing in Europe's elite competition for a second successive season after finishing seventh in 2020/21.
The Athletic claims Chelsea are prepared to offer Daniel Levy a player-plus-cash swap with Tammy Abraham heading the other way.
Kieran Trippier
Brexit has given Manchester United a boost in their pursuit of Kieran Trippier.
Trippier wants to move to Old Trafford but reports in Spain insist he will not leave Atletico Madrid this season, stating he is 'untransferable'.

After four seasons in North London, Trippier departed to Atletico Madrid for £20million and won La Liga last season.
