Tottenham to reward Harry Kane with bumper new deal worth £100,000-a-week - Tottenham are keen to tie down striker Harry Kane to new long-term deal
- Spurs are prepared to double the England international's current wage
- Manchester United have been linked with Kane since last season
Tottenham Hotspur are set to make Harry Kane the highest-paid player in the history of the club.The 22-year-old is expected to sign a new deal which will double his £50,000-a-week salary and smash Spurs’ existing ceiling of about £80,000 per week.England striker Kane signed his current, five-year contract last February. However, after following up last term’s 31 goals with another 28 so far this season, he will be duly rewarded for his efforts.
While a new deal may not be reached before the prolific hitman heads to France for the European Championship,
Sportsmail understands that all parties are relaxed about the situation and there is little doubt on either side that an agreement will be reached over the summer.The news will come as a blow for potential suitors, including Manchester United, who were strongly linked with the boyhood Tottenham fan last season.
It is, however, a huge boost for Spurs, who saw their fading title hopes evaporate during a bad-tempered 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
Tottenham’s Argentine boss Mauricio Pochettino has verbally agreed a new five-year contract and several key players are set to follow his lead at a club who have a philosophy of rewarding success.
Midfielder Christian Eriksen is expected to sign a four-and-a-half-year deal that could see him take home as much as £80,000 per week.Talks are also expected to take place with Argentine playmaker Erik Lamela, who has been in fine form after struggling to make an impact in his first two seasons at White Hart Lane.New England man Dele Alli, 20, signed a new five-and-a-half-year deal in January worth £25,000 per week but both he and fellow England midfielder Eric Dier, 22, who is also on a long-term deal, could be given additional pay rises after their rapid progression.
