Harry Kane signs new Tottenham contract until 2022

It will give manager Mauricio Pochettino and his squad a huge boost after the striker was linked with a move to various other teams, including Manchester United.

"It's amazing. Everyone knows how much I love this team and what I feel for this club," said Kane of the new deal. The 23-year-old made his debut in 2011 against Hearts in the Europa League, and had since gone on to score 70 goals in 173 appearances. The deal, which is believed to substantially increase the England man’s wages, adds a further two years to the five-year deal he signed in 2015.

Kane, who had loan spells at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City, before getting a regular chance at Spurs, has been the club's top goalscorer for the last two seasons and he won the Premier League's Golden Boot award in May. Kane has become one of the most sought after forwards in world football, with Manchester United and Real Madrid both said to have been following developments closely.

     

However, any speculation regarding the England man’s future can now well and truly be put to bed after he committed his future to the club for another five-and-a-half years.

And for a club reeling after their Champions League exit, the timing could not be any better.
