Former Tottenham left-back Danny Rose has revealed details of a recent conversation with Harry Kane and believes the striker will ask to leave the club 'if the right team comes in'.
The England captain has had a fantastic individual season, scoring a record 24th goal against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday - although Spurs have lost 1-2 and are in danger of missing out a place in the European Cup next season. .
Kane's contract expires in 2024 and is attracting interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich, and his former team-mate Rose is confident his time at Tottenham is coming to an end.
“I texted Harry maybe 10 days ago just to see how he was and then obviously asked him what was going on. He didn't give too much and then I met him after the Man United game and we had 20 minutes to talk," Rose revealed to Astro SuperSport. "He knows very well what he's going to do next season and, for me, I don't think Daniel [Levy] will have an advantage over Harry at the moment.
'I know he has to run a business, but how can you deprive someone who has given you everything for so many years? He scored one goal after another.
“He was promised a move [before], he struck a gentleman's deal to go to Manchester City two years ago but Spurs broke it at the last minute.
"So for me, I don't see how Daniel has the upper hand in this situation.

'If the right team comes in for Harry – that Harry wants to go and play for – I feel as if Harry will knock on that door and say, “You've got to let me leave.”'
Asked if Kane has a better chance of winning silverware away from north London, Rose continued:
'Depending on the team. I remember when I was still at the club and we were having a conversation and he said, “Gosh, if I was at City I'd score 45 goals!”
'And I remember laughing and thinking, “Yeah, alright Harry, calm down” but actually looking at it now I'm thinking he's right, he'd easily score 45 goals.
'I'm a big [Manchester] United fan and I know there's rumours and it's probably obvious they need a number nine, and I know they won the Carabao Cup and they're in the FA Cup final, but for me I don't see that as a guarantee that Harry is going to win trophies there.
'Obviously he can't go to City [because of Erling Haaland], Chelsea absolutely tarnishes everything he's achieved at Tottenham and Arsenal is just a no go.
'It just depends where [he can go] and if none of the options were what he wanted, I'd happily run my contract down for a year and I'd see if Real Madrid wanted to take me on a free transfer if I was him. He's not in a bad position but I'm curious to see what happens at the end of the season.
