Troy Deeney admits he is 'surprised' Harry Kane stayed at Tottenham

Troy Deeney has admitted he is 'surprised' that Harry Kane revealed he will stay at Tottenham, and says he would not have criticised him for joining Manchester City.

Kane brought an end to the longest transfer saga of the summer by pledging his future at Spurs this season, which also saw City's interest in a £150m deal fall short.

And Watford striker Deeney, writing for The Sun, believes Kane was wary of tarnishing his legacy in north London by forcing through the big-money move.
