Speculation Over Harry Kane's Future Continues, Says Spurs' New Sporting Director

JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur's new sporting director Fabio Paratici wants striker Harry Kane to stay at the club as speculation over the England captain's future continues.

Kane is currently leading England in the 2020 European Cup (Euro). His three goals helped Gareth Southgate's side reach the semifinals of the competition, where they will play Denmark at Wembley on Thursday, 8 July at 02.00 CEST.

The 27-year-old's contract runs until 2024 with Spurs, but British media say he wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to win trophies.

Spurs are currently labeling Kane for £100 million. Although the price is quite high, several clubs are still interested in using his services, such as Manchester City and Manchester United.

"Keeping Kane is not just my goal, it's our goal as a club," Paratici told Sky Sports on Monday.

"I can't wait to see him play live... Right now, he is one of the best strikers in the world. He is a complete player, very special.

"I haven't heard from him because I don't want to disturb the players who are busy at the Euros, it feels unfair to me. They are focused on their own goals with their national team," he added.

Tottenham finished seventh in the Premier League last season under interim coach Ryan Mason after Jose Mourinho was sacked.

Apart from signing Paratici last month, Spurs have also signed Nuno Espirito Santo from Wolverhampton Wanderers as their new coach.
