Harry Kane will remain loyal to Spurs, claims The Sun, although the same can’t be said for Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose.
According to the paper the two defenders are being stalked by Manchester United and both could be susceptible to the charm of Jose Mourinho as he looks to bolster his back four in the summer.
The 29-year-old Alderweireld is reportedly “unhappy” at the club’s latest contract offer, which the Sun says is worth a modest £110,000 per week plus bonuses. The Belgian blocker believes he should be on a more respectable £140,000 a week and apparently if Spurs cannot agree a new deal then “a clause in his contract means Alderweireld will be available for £25m”.

United are said to be monitoring developments with a view to making a summer swoop, and the same goes for Rose, the 27-year-old left-back who has also been linked with a move away from north London.
For that to happen, however, United must first jettison Luke Shaw but it’s expected he will be sent on his way from Old Trafford at the end of the season.
As for who Tottenham might look to bring in to replace Rose and Alderweireld, the Sun says they are circling Ryan Sessegnon, Fulham’s 17-year-old sensation.
Meanwhile, Kane has no intention of jumping ship, despite the disappointment of missing out on a place in the last eight of the Champions League. The England striker has been linked with Real Madrid in recent weeks and, while he is “tempted” by the chance to make millions in the Spanish capital, he will stay at Spurs next season.
If Tottenham can turn themselves into title contenders and actually win some silverware then Kane will commit his long-term future to the club but if they once more fall short it’s expected he will move to Madrid in search of major honours.
