Manchester City are willing to play a waiting game for Harry Kane.
The Premier League champions want to sign the England striker, but accept that it may be difficult to persuade Spurs to part with their prized asset with three years left on his current contract.
However, they believe that a bid in 12 months’ time is more likely to succeed, because Tottenham will want to maximise the value they can get for the 27-year old.
Kane has made no secret of his desire to leave North London in search of regular silverware, whilst City are in need of a new striker following the departure of Sergio Agüero who has since joined Barcelona on a free transfer.
However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, a renowned tough negotiator, has always made it clear that he will do want he thinks is best for the club, even if he has some sympathy with Kane’s frustrations.
