New Spurs boss Nuno warns rivals: Kane is ours

Harry Kane

Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo issued a hands off warning to clubs interested in Harry Kane on Friday amid speculation over the England captain's future.

Kane is reportedly keen to leave his boyhood club this summer in the search for the first silverware of his career. Despite Kane's efforts in winning the Premier League Golden Boot last season, Spurs have missed out on Champions League football for the second consecutive season.

Premier League champions Manchester City have been strongly linked with a move for Kane. But former Wolves boss Nuno, who was appointed as Jose Mourinho's successor, is expecting his prized asset to return to Tottenham for pre-season training after a short break following his efforts at the European Championship.

"Harry is our player. That is period. No need to talk about anything else," said the Portuguese, who was finally appointed on June 30, over two months on from Mourinho's sacking. "Now is the moment for Harry to recover his energy and when Harry comes again we will have time to speak and have good conversations. I am looking forward to him joining the group and start working together. I am excited to work with all the players, Harry is a top player. Harry is one of the best players in the world, that is all there is to say."
