The Premier League is all about one man at the moment, and it's no surprise that Spurs sensation Harry Kane has started attracting interest from overseas. Talking of young strikers, could Arsene Wenger, undeterred by the footballing car crash that was Yaya Sanogo, have agreed to sign another French teenager in the hope he'll be an Emirates idol in a few seasons' time? If so it might make up for the pain of missing out on two other targets.
• The least surprising rumour of the day involves Harry Kane. The papers are desperate for any titbit about the boy wonder and the suggestion that Real Madrid have scouted him is enough for most, including the Daily Mail, to start typing. The young striker, who confirmed his Spurs icon status with two goals against Arsenal on Saturday recently signed a contract keeping him at White Hart Lane until 2020 and has expressed a desire to be a one-club man. No matter, Madrid still want him. "Representatives of the club's scouting network have watched him several times this season," says the Mail. "[And] his performance at the weekend has only toughened their resolve to be part of any future race to sign him."
