Tottenham Hotspur ‘have opened talks with Harry Kane over a new contract amid interest in the England captain from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
The 27-year-old striker has been awarded a contract for Spurs until the summer of 2024, after agreeing his last contract with the club back in 2018.
However, according to The Independent, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy wants to keep his star man as happy as possible amid interest from elsewhere and initial communication has begun.

Kane, 27, is content to stay at Tottenham as long as Jose Mourinho’s side are competitive
Any new contract would undoubtedly mean an increase in Kane’s current salary of £ 200,000 a week.
Reports last week suggest that City have identified Kane as the successor to Sergio Aguero and are preparing a £ 90million bid this summer.
Former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino may be interested in a reunion with Kane after his appointment at PSG – especially if Kylian Mbappe moves to Real Madrid.
The Independent claims that Kane is happy to stay at Spurs while they compete for the silverware that has eliminated him so far during an unscored career.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will want to defend Kane ‘s value if other clubs are interested

He has a remarkable return of 17 goals and 14 assists in all competitions for Spurs so far this season.
Kane added to his platform with a penalty in Saturday’s 3-0 home win over Leeds United and then set up Son to score the second goal.
