It is an international break and with that comes a silly period of reporting from journalists, mainly because they have almost no club news to report.
You would expect Sky Sports to keep themselves above the fray when it comes to “transfer rumours” but it seems to some fans that they are not much better than the scummy tabloids that peddle bull all day long.
Basically, Sky Sports have run with the headline “Harry Kane: England and Tottenham striker to decide future after Euros” the problem is that nowhere in the article does it quote Kane or any of his representatives saying any such thing.
He actually said “I’m fully focussed on doing the job on the pitch from now until the end of the summer, and then we’ll see where we go from there.”
Nothing about making any decision on his future, he was simply deflecting speculation that comes up every time he does an interview.
But of course, it is Harry Kane and any words he utters has to mean something, even when it does not.
Here is a sample of the responses to the article after Sky Sports posted it up on Twitter and you can see that some fans are now getting fed up with the constant speculation, much of which is simply made up.
Pathetic journalism. Just in case you cant be bothered to read the article, the headline is totally misleading. Nowhere does Kane say anything about deciding his future after the Euros. All he says is that he is staying focused on Spurs and England while ignoring the speculation.

Always stirring. Any top player who hasn’t won something in recent times gets the same treatment. Grealish gets the same waffle. If there ain’t no news, create some news.

At Tottenham. Stop trying to sell him every summer.

Once Sky get their move, I wonder who they will move onto next? Probably Son. Vultures.

You guys never fail to make a headline for transfer every single summer even he has head struck at Tottenham. Get a different player such as Jack Grealish or Rashford.

Kane will still be a tottenham player next season.
Exactly
How long has he got left on his contact? Enough to win more than a league cup.
Couldn’t blame his logic if he wants to win things. Won’t happen here bar the odd League Cup (hopefully)
He might, he might not .
international football throws up this rubbish because it is soooooo bad and sky bought the rights to it !!!!!
content for content sake
Can’t remember the last time I watched an England game outside of a tournament .
He’s not going to show his hand, when he has a contract to renegotiate in the summer is he?
Maybe i’m being naive, but i can’t see Harry Kane leaving Tottenham without him saying when he’d move on.
He would say that he’ll leave after one more season, or two.
He could have shut down speculation and said he would be staying at Tottenham, but pointedly chose not to. He’s clearly keeping his options open.
I don’t think Sky have read any more into this quote than all the pearl-clutchers did with Bale’s quote the other day.
Yes, that line translates as, ‘ill see in the summer where I will go or if i stay’.
One way or another he will be making a decision in the summer, and that will have to be after the Euros so…..
Every single International break players open their big mouths in interviews. It gets so boring..Your club and us fans pay yere wages Amos show some respect..International break talk about International matters..Sick of media wanting all our top Players to move..
“and then we’ll see where we go from there” is the line that the journos are picking up on. Kane did not have to throw that line in, he could have stopped short but he didn’t. Leads me to beleive he has an open mind / has not yet comitted (at least mentally) to being with Tottenham next season.
