Harry Kane ‘would refuse a new Tottenham contract, as of today’. The phrase ‘no sh*t’ comes to mind.
The media has been awash with speculation over where Kane will go this summer after the England international told Spurs he wants to leave the club.
His current six-year deal will be quite the hurdle for Kane to jump over, so news that he would turn down another one isn’t really news at all.
OPINION: Manchester United have a £60m change of heart on Harry Kane
That was one of a few revelatory claims made by journalist Fabrizio Romano, as he took to Twitter on Wednesday.
Harry Kane desire to leave Tottenham is confirmed.
He’s NOT handed in a transfer request but he hopes to find a solution.#THFC position: NO intention to sell Kane.

So, what did we learn, boys and girls?
Kane wants to leave Spurs, Spurs don’t want Kane to leave Spurs, Kane doesn’t want a new contract and Man City are interested. Nothing, then.
Despite that reported interest, Micah Richards has dismissed the Man City rumours, claiming his former side would not be willing to spend £150million.
“Of course he would work at City, he works hard and he scores goals,” he said, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“Would they pay £150million for him? No, they wouldn’t.
“They might pay £80million or £90million, but they are not going to get him for that. They would be looking for youth if they were going to spend £150million. They would go for Haaland or Mbappe.
“The thing is I think Kane is a perfect suit for Man United. Him and Cavani up front for that one role, one play, one rest, you would have two top strikers.
“Kane would be the number one, with Cavani being managed correctly, because he is 34 and you can see the impact he can have starting, or off the bench.
“I just don’t see Man City being in for him if he is going to cost £150million to be honest.”
