Tottenham insider makes ‘huge’ Harry Kane quit claim after update
Harry Kane could quit Tottenham if the club fail to agree a new deal with Antonio Conte.
That is according to Spurs expert John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
On Tuesday (20 December), The Athletic reported sources close to key figures in the negotiations of Conte’s new contract sound less optimistic than they did earlier in the season about a deal being reached.
The Italian is out of contract at the end of the season though Spurs have the option to activate a one-year extension.
Kane, 29, has 18 months remaining on his own deal and Wenham claims Conte’s future is now directly linked to his.
“Yes, I do think their futures are linked,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“It would be a huge problem for Kane if Conte was to leave at the end of the season. He has 18 months left on his own deal.
“So if we can get Conte tied down to a new deal then I think that would convince Harry that Tottenham is the best place for him to try and win that trophy.
“We know there is interest in him, of course there is, he is the best in the world in his position. But these Bayern links won’t go away.
“It causes a lot of different problems if Conte was to leave at the end of the season, then I think you have to look at Kane and what he might do.”
Tottenham return to league action against Brentford on Boxing Day.
They sit fourth in the Premier League after winning nine games before the World Cup.
