Merson insists Spurs can't sell Kane to Man Utd for record fee

Arsenal hero Paul Merson can't see Tottenham receiving a record fee for Harry Kane.

Spurs are adamant Kane is not for sale despite firm interest from Manchester United, who are determined to add a striker this summer.

But Merson believes United shouldn't be put off by Tottenham's public stance, warning Kane could well be on his way.

"I can definitely see him going and if Spurs fans want even worse news, it won't be for anywhere near £200m," he wrote in the Daily Star.

"Kane is an extremely decent player and seems to be an equally decent bloke, but can I see him moving on? Oh, yeah.

"Anyone expecting £200m can forget it. Football is going to have a drastically changed market in future."
