Tottenham star Harry Kane has not travelled as part of the matchday squad for their Premier League opening fixture against the very team he is desperate to join, Manchester City.
Both sides meet in north London for the curtain-raiser after an intense few weeks of negotiations over the top flight's most sought after goal scorer.
The wantaway striker has made no secret of his desire to move on from the club this summer, and has been explicit in his wishes to join Pep Guardiola's side.
Spurs however have remained resolute on their stance with Kane, informing the England captain he will no be sold while insisting his must honour his long-term contract as the club's highest paid player.
