Daniel Levy will sanction the sale of Harry Kane amid growing fears of a financial crisis at Tottenham, according to the Daily Mail.
But only for a world-record fee of £200m.

As the Daily Mail details, Spurs have a £637m loan outstanding on the new stadium and also owe £83m in transfer fees. Levy fears the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown and the potential loss of income if the Premier League season is voided, a scenario publicly approved by Kane to the fury of the chairman. The 26-year-old has also recently spoken of the possibility of leaving Spurs and a strained relationship is pushing Levy towards a sale.
It is now inevitable that Kane will leave and £200m would be great business considering his injury record over the last couple of seasons. It wouldn’t be great business for other clubs though and therein lies the problem.
I’d drive him there myself.

Plays 15 games then gets injured for the rest of the season, great deal for us

And no amount of money would be enough for fans to forgive Levy for letting it get to this point, especially because the spoils would not be put towards revitalising an already broken squad for the dark post-Kane era.
That ridiculous fee is to scare off buyers, not a chance he gets anywhere near it with Harry’s injury record which can be laid at the chairman’s door and his refusal to have back up strikers. If employers have a duty of care to keep their employees safe then Levy has failed Harry Kane with the ridiculous work load imposed on him. When I saw Poch having to drag Harry off the bench to rescue a result in the FA Cup against the mighty Newport I knew there’d be a price to pay, and now that bill is coming due and Levy will deservedly get half what he should have got. Another result for the genius negotiator.
Exactly ….. Kane could feature in those Donkey adverts given the workload that’s put on him every season.
Pay your staff
ENIC out
If we had adequate back up, Kane would not be injured as much.
