With the end of the Premier League season fast approaching, talk at Tottenham Hotspur will inevitably turn to whether the club can again keep hold of their talisman, Harry Kane.
The record-breaking striker will almost certainly look for a move away, particularly if the Lilywhites don’t make the Champions League, and Man United are likely to be in the mix for his services according to The Times (subscription required).
However, they and any other interested parties may once again find Daniel Levy is the toughest of negotiators.
During a talk to the Cambridge Union, he dropped a huge hint as to what clubs interested in Kane might encounter from him.
“I think when it comes to a transfer it depends on the balance of power,” he said.
“If you have a player that you really don’t want to sell then you have every right to say no. You own the registration.
“So it depends on the character of the player and whether you feel at the end you can keep the player because we’re operating in a team sport and it’s very important that we keep the team together. So every circumstance is different.”
