Harry Kane has confirmed he will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will not be headed to Manchester City or elsewhere.
The 28-year-old pushed for a move away from the Spurs this summer, and speculation about his potential departure had heated up over the last several days.
It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday and to read some of the messages of support I've had in the last few weeks. ⚽

Kane has been training on his own after returning later for preseason than his teammates, and he played for the first time this season as a second-half substitute in Tottenham's 1-0 win over the Wolves on Sunday.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had turned down multiple offers for Kane from Manchester City this summer, and Pep Guardiola's side reportedly decided to move on with the price tag being high.
Kane has three years remaining on his contract and said in his statement that he will be staying with Tottenham "this summer." So there's a chance he could once again look for a move away from the club after the 2021-22 season.
The Englishman has spent the last 10 seasons with Tottenham, recording 166 goals and 32 assists in 243 games.
