Spurs are not prepared to sell star striker Harry Kane this summer amid Manchester United interest, according to reports.
The 29-year-old continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, as Erik ten Hag eyes a new forward.

Ten Hag is a huge fan of the 29-year-old and could look to sign him this summer
Kane will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the current campaign, and it is unclear whether he will put pen-to-paper on a new deal.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham, who are aiming to secure a place in the top four, remain clear in their stance the player is not available at any cost.
The report adds Spurs are desperate to sort out a new contract for their skipper, but are prepared to wait in order to get the deal over the line.
Kane is their most prized asset and clear to see why the club are desperate to hold onto him, despite manager Antonio Conte and football director Fabio Paratici’s futures up in the air.
Just a few weeks ago, he became the club’s record goalscorer and passed the 200 Premier League goal mark.
Man United are keen on signing a new striker in the summer, and are likely to do business early so whoever is recruited can get to grips with Ten Hag’s style during pre-season.
The Red Devils will most likely have to sell several players in order to facilitate a potential move, due to Financial Fair Play regulations.

Sky Sports add: “Man United would ‘absolutely’ explore a deal for the striker if everything aligned and Spurs switched from obstinate to being open to business.”
Should the Red Devils fail in their attempts to secure the services of Kane, the club do have several alternatives they are willing to explore.
Napoli talisman Victor Osimhen, Benfica star Goncalo Ramos, Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, Juventus hitman Dusan Vlhaovic and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus have all been earmarked as options.
Kane, meanwhile, would be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club in January, should he decide not to sign a new deal over the summer.
