Ryan Mason has insisted Tottenham do not need Champions League football next season in order to convince Harry Kane to remain at the club.
Kane’s current contract at Spurs runs until 2024 but Sky Sports News reported earlier this month the England captain is expected to tell the club he wants to leave if they do not secure qualification for Europe’s top club competition.
Asked whether Kane remaining at Spurs was contingent on being in the Champions League, caretaker manager Mason said: “I don’t believe so. Harry Kane loves this club, that has been proven over the last seven or eight years.
“He is one of the best strikers in the world. Everyone knows that, we know that. I’d like to think Harry knows that as well.”
The former Tottenham midfielder added: “He is one of the most professional guys I have ever met in my life.”
