As news of Harry Kane's latest remarks regarding his Tottenham future filtered through to Daniel Levy's office on Sunday, it is unlikely there would have been a sharp intake of breath.
'I'm fully focused on doing the job on the pitch from now until the end of the summer and then we'll see where we go from there,' said Kane. Hardly an admission he wants to leave, but nor was it an unequivocal declaration of commitment.
Therein lies the problem — the uncertainty. Kane's reluctance to kill talk of a move away from north London speaks volumes.
