Roma coach Mourinho: Levy will fight to keep Kane at Spurs

Roma coach Jose Mourinho expects Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to fight to keep hold of Harry Kane.

Mourinho believes Kane will stay at Tottenham, thanks to Daniel Levy's burning desire to not sell their star asset.

"Him signing a new contract, I don't know. I would say that [Kane stays] probably is what is going to happen. I don't see Mr Levy with the desire to sell him," the former Spurs manager told TalkSport.

"Of course Harry was very clear before the Euros but I don't see Levy open for that, but only they know."

Asked if he had messaged Kane ahead of Sunday's Euro 2020 final, Mourinho added: "Yes that's what I do. Even to my Roma players with Italy. I told them I leave them in peace. I know for Harry how important it is, his desire to win titles, it will be his first one of his career.

"But really I leave him in peace because that's what the players need. He knows the people that like him and we love that we are with him."
