Harry Kane shuns talk of Tottenham future and places focus on World Cup in Qatar

Harry Kane was tight-lipped about his Tottenham future as the England captain focuses on World Cup preparations and breaking Wayne Rooney’s all-time scoring record.

Having struggled for form after a much-discussed summer exit failed to materialise, the 28-year-old striker has got back in the groove in recent months.

Kane has scored 32 goals in 47 matches for club and country this season, including seven in his last seven Premier League matches, and is sure to attract more admiring glances this summer.

Asked about the potential of his long-term future proving a distraction as the World Cup comes into focus, he said: “Obviously my main focus is just finishing this season, first and foremost.

“We’re still in a competition for the top four and that’s where my focus lies. I can’t control what will happen in the future.

“It is a big year for everyone. Not just me.

“I want to be going into that tournament in the best form possible so it’s just about controlling what I can control and that’s doing what I have been doing the last few months.

“It’s important over the summer to stay focused and I look forward to a fantastic tournament.”

Kane was coy about his future and said he was “not going to get into discussions, personal discussions” with Spurs boss Antonio Conte, who has helped bring the best out of him since his November appointment.

“He’s a fantastic coach and since he came in we’ve got on really well,” the England striker said.

“He brings his ideas to the game, he brings the way he wants me to play, the strikers to play so I have definitely learnt different aspects of my game under him.
