Tottenham striker Kane not thinking about summer transfer amid Man Utd, Man City interest

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane insists he is not focused on what he will do this summer.

The Englishman wanted to quit Spurs last summer amid interest from Manchester City, while Manchester United have also been linked with his signature.

Now the 28-year-old says he is only worried about helping Spurs finish in the top-four, with rivals Arsenal occupying the final Champions League qualification spot.

"I'm the first to look at my own standards," Kane said. "In the Premier League, towards the first few months or so I wasn't at the standard that I was always reaching.

"It was no time to panic or sulk, it was a time to work hard and since Antonio's come in, we've had a good understanding with each other. As a player, if you're improving under a coach, that's the most important thing.

"It's when you're there and not sure where you're going and where the club's going and that's the hardest part as a player. I definitely feel like I'm improving and the team is with Antonio. That motivates you to be even better. Hopefully we can end the season and give the top four a real go.

"Obviously it's always an aim to get in the Champions League, for the club. Personally, you want to be in the best competitions in the world. My focus is on this year, getting top four is the most important goal for us now.

"There are 11 games left and if we can get on a run, this is more than possible. That's all I can control and that's all the manager can control as well. Let's see where we end up."
