Tottenham are quietly confident they will avoid another summer of unrest from Harry Kane with Manchester City in full pursuit of Erling Haaland and Manchester United opting against Mauricio Pochettino.
Kane wanted out of Spurs at the end of last season, during which Jose Mourinho was sacked days before they lost in the League Cup final to be eventually replaced by Nuno Espirito Santo having slipped into the third tier Europa Conference League.
The England captain felt let down when chairman Daniel Levy resisted City's approaches because he thought he had a verbal agreement that he would be allowed to leave, and has shown no interest in extending a contract set to expire in 2024.
