Tottenham players demand pay-rises after Kane contract upgrade

Tottenham players are demanding pay-rises after Harry Kane's latest contract upgrade.

The Sun says Spurs are fighting growing dressing-room unrest over Kane's stunning contract worth more than £200,000-a-week.

Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose have demanded improved terms to match the England striker's percentage pay rise.

Kane was given superstar status by Spurs in the summer when chairman Daniel Levy handed the club's prized asset the biggest deal in their history — worth a staggering £60million.

Although Kane, who scored 30 Premier League goals last term, is respected by fellow pros at Spurs, his pay packet now dwarfs the rest of the squad.

He also has huge bonuses in his six-year contract.

Spurs, on a run of three defeats, are desperately trying to restore dressing-room harmony ahead of tonight's clash at Brighton.
