Tottenham Transfer News: Daniel Levy set to raise Harry Kane asking price in a bid to keep him
According to transfer news from Mirror, Daniel Levy is set to demand a world-record fee for Tottenham talisman Harry Kane. The Spurs chief is doing so in a bid to keep Kane at the club after the striker admitted that he wants to leave to win trophies.
The rumour mill has been going off relentlessly ever since news broke that Kane had informed Tottenham of his desire to leave the club at the end of the season. Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all emerged as contenders to secure the signing of the 27-year-old England captain.
During the interview, he claimed that he was in charge of his future at the club and not Daniel Levy. He wants to win trophies in his career and hopes that the relationship he has with Levy will allow him to leave the club in the summer if an appropriate offer comes in.
While it is already a tough economic climate to conduct big money transfers, Levy has gone the extra mile to stop Kane from leaving.
He is demanding an eye-watering £200million for the striker in order to fend off interest from clubs like Chelsea and both Manchester clubs. While it was expected that he would cost around £100-£150million, Levy wants to make sure any club wanting Kane will have to shatter the world record.

Things are slowly taking an ugly turn in this saga. Kane has often spoken about his desire to leave the club but has never behaved unprofessionally. Levy is a stubborn figure and he will not lose Kane easily. Slapping a price tag like that may fend off clubs but pricing Kane out of a move might not end well.
