Tottenham supremo Daniel Levy could be tempted to sell Harry Kane in the January transfer window, if the right offer comes along again from Manchester City.

According to ESPN, Levy is feeling nervy about the impact that the pandemic has had on the club’s finances. As we all know, Levy stood his ground in the summer and refused to sell Kane, as he stuck a £150m+ valuation in the England man’s head.

However, ESPN reports that, despite Antonio Conte being told Kane will be part of his plans, Levy is not completely shutting down the idea of his star striker going to Manchester City after all. It’s suggested Levy could be forced to accept a big bid, with City weighing up their options.

ESPN writes how the next weeks and months are crucial for Kane. It’s claimed he is impressed with appointment of Conte.

Of course, much will depend on City’s willingness to make that big bid and Kane’s attitude towards leaving mid-season. It does, however, seem that the Kane to City saga is far from over.

TBR’s View: Harry Kane, Tottenham and Manchester City…here we go again?

Ah, the near constant of the summer transfer window rears its head again in the national media.

Frankly, it would be amazing to see Levy sell Harry Kane so soon into Antonio Conte’s reign. It would surely be a huge kick in the teeth for the new Spurs boss, and wouldn’t go down well.

On the reverse of that, Conte isn’t going to suffer fools either. If he gets an inkling that Kane wants out, then he will have no problem in ensuring the club gets the best deal possible. That, in turn, might even help Levy’s decision.

However, unless City come in with the £150m Levy originally wanted, then surely he isn’t selling? If he does, then it’s a huge risk mid-season.
