Tottenham Hotspur stars to reject China move, claims Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has admitted that no player at White Hart Lane would prefer a move to the cash-rich Chinese ahead of achieving something with the North London outfit. Reports have linked a number of Tottenham players including Kane, Dele Alli among others with a move to China.
Speaking in an interview, Kane said: "People are going to speculate about that but you can see how good a shape the club is in. I'd be very surprised if any of our players went out there, especially within the next couple of seasons.
"What we've got going on here is something very great and I think it would be silly for the players here not to be part of it."
