Maddison urging Kane to stick with Spurs

Tottenham star James Maddison has admitted he would prefer to see Harry Kane remain at the club.

The England captain is still mulling over his future, while Bayern Munich attempt to agree a fee for his services.

With Spurs setting an exorbitant price on Kane's head, a move does appear unlikely at this stage.

"It hasn't been a distraction, Harry is super professional," said Maddison, speaking to TNT Sports.

"I won't go into details because I don't know anything and let's be respectful about Harry's situation.

"Everyone knows what Harry Kane is like, he's a super professional guy and whatever club he is at, whenever he goes into training he gives 100 per cent and it's the same as all the lads so not at all really," he added. Spurs' higher-ups have remained keen for their top scorer to sign a new deal, and Maddison is hopeful about his international colleague remaining a club team-mate.

"We were friends before I joined Tottenham from the England squad, we have similar interests and get on well anyway away from football," Maddison added.

"I would love Harry Kane to stay, he's the best No9 in the world in my opinion. But what will be will be and Harry is super professional."
