Tottenham do not want to let their star player leave

Kane also tweeted about finishing the season strongly.
Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea linked with a move
Premier League trio Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are said to be monitoring the situation. The report states that all the three clubs have been in touch with Kane's representatives CK66 expressing a desire to sign the England skipper.
City and Chelsea likely destinations for Harry Kane
Chelsea and City are the two clubs who could get hold of Kane. Premier League 2020-21 champions City want a replacement for Sergio Aguero and getting Kane would mean business. Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea are also linked heavily. With Timo Werner not making the desired impact, Kane could bolster Chelsea. United aren't expected to sign a striker after extending Edinson Cavani's deal.
