Harry Kane goes AWOL for second day in row in bid to force Man City transfer but plans to return to Tottenham this week
TOTTENHAM star Harry Kane has NOT turned up to training for a second day running, according to reports.
The 28-year-old is thought to be attempting to force a move away from North London this summer, with Manchester City interested.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Kane has bunked off work in an attempt to leave the club.
But it’s believed the England captain will RETURN to Hotspur Way later this week to resolve his future.
The England captain did not report back for training on Monday either, with Tottenham reportedly fining the player.
The situation between the two parties is said to be very tense and players are surprised by Kane’s dramatic stance.
The forward appears to have gone AWOL due to chairman Daniel Levy not honouring an alleged ‘gentleman’s agreement’ allowing him to leave.
A source told SunSport: “As far as Harry is concerned, the club have agreed he can leave. Now it is just a case of the money men doing their bit.”
It’s believed Kane will be fined for every day until he returns to training, with Levy determined not to be bullied.
City are thought to be leading the race for his signature – but Spurs will only accept a whopping £160MILLION bid.
A contract with Man City has not yet been signed but this is Harry’s preference.

The Premier League champions are reportedly not willing to pay such an amount, offering £100m plus players to try and persuade Levy.
New Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has previously stated Kane would NOT leave the club this summer.
He told the press in July: “Harry is our player, period. No need to talk about anything else.
“Harry is one of the best players in the world, that says it all. I have no doubts in my mind.
“What I wish is for Harry to recover well, to have a good rest and when he arrives he will feel that every one of us has to commit ourselves to become better.
“We are very ambitious people and we want to do it well, and no doubts on Harry on that.”

Speculation surrounding Kane’s future has been rife since the end last season, with the player dropping a huge hint in an interview.
Speaking about Tottenham in an interview with Manchester United legend Gary Neville, Kane said: “I hope we have a good enough relationship.
“I’ve given the club… well, I’ve been there 16 years of my life. So, I hope that we can have a good, honest conversation and see where we are at in that aspect.”
