Harry Kane is set to remain at Spurs, with the club refusing to contemplate selling their prize asset.
The 27-year-old England captain is under contract until 2024, and, despite speculation that he wants to leave and join a club where he has more chance of winning silverware on a regular basis.
However, Spurs are not prepared to sell him to a Premier League rival at any price, and any potential suitor from abroad will be told they will need to pay £175 million to secure his services.
He once more proved his value to the side when his two goals enabled Spurs to come from behind against Newcastle on Sunday, and was denied a hat-trick late on when his shot cannoned off a post.
Newcastle salvaged a point through on-line Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock.
Kane does still have a chance of ending his trophy drought with Spurs later this month – they meet Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final on April 25th.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
