Antonio Conte details Tottenham's plans for Harry Kane amid reported transfer interest from Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has admitted that he's unlikely to have much say in Manchester United transfer target Harry Kane's future.

The English forward is being linked with a move to the Red Devils, with Erik ten Hag keen on signing the £100-million valued striker. However, Spurs appear eager to keep hold of their frontman, who has bagged 22 goals in 38 games across competitions.

Conte has issued an update on Kane's situation at Tottenham. The Italian's own future is in doubt, and he added that he could have little say over Kane's future. He said (via Manchester Evening News):

"I think this is a question for the club, because, for sure, the club wants to involve Harry Kane for the rest of his career, in my opinion. Whenever you have this type of player, a world-class striker like him, for sure, you want him to stay here for the rest of his career."

Conte added that a decision over the player's future will be down to Spurs and Kane:

"You know football, and sometimes, it is unpredictable. It is not in my task to make a decision, and this is a decision for the club and for Harry."

Kane has a year left on his contract with Tottenham. He has made clear his intentions of ending his career with silverware. The England captain told Gary Neville's The Overlap:

"My aim is to be winning trophies season in season out, scoring 50, 60 or 70 goals season in season out. That's the standard I want to set myself."

Tottenham haven't won a trophy since 2008. Meanwhile, Manchester United won their first trophy in six years when they lifted the Carabao Cup last month.

The 29-year-old's future may stay on if Spurs qualify for the UEFA Champions League. They're fourth in the Premier League, holding a four-point lead over fifth-placed Newcastle United. However, the Magpies have two games in hand.

Manchester United's alternative to Tottenham's Kane, Victor Osimhen drops transfer hint

Victor Osimhen comments on reported Manchester United interest..

Manchester United have also been linked with Napoli striker Osimhen. The Nigerian frontman has bagged 23 goals in 28 games this season. He's vital for Luciano Spalletti's side who sit top of Serie A with a whopping 18-point lead over second-placed Inter Milan.

Reports claim that the Red Devils are willing to offer €100 million (£87.7 million) to sign Osimhen in the summer. The forward has touched on speculation about a departure from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, saying (via TeamTalk):

“I don’t know what the future holds. I think I’m on the right track. At the end of the season, I will sit down with my agents and discuss everything. I will also be in talks with the club. I am incredibly grateful to Napoli. We will find a good solution together.”

Osimhen has two years left on his contract with Napoli. He joined them from LOSC Lille in 2020 for €75 million.
