Kane eyes Eriksen stay
Tottenham striker Harry Kane says he hopes the club can keep hold of midfielder Christian Eriksen amid speculation surrounding the Dane's future in north London.
Eriksen is entering the final year of his contract at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium and there have been links with a move to Spain, while Manchester United were also connected.
Spurs managed to keep hold of Eriksen through the summer window but there remain serious doubts regarding the playmaker's long-term future at Spurs.
Kane says he is a big admirer of the Scandinavian and says he hopes to be playing alongside Eriksen for many seasons to come.
"Obviously I've been playing with Chris now for five or six years and we all know the qualities he has: the assists, the passes, the goals," Kane said.
"Whether he starts or is on the bench, the most important thing from all of our points of view is that he gives everything for the team.
"Obviously there's been speculation about his future but as long as he's training hard and playing as hard as he can when he's here, that's all we can ask for. What will be will be but we're happy to have him.
"That's out of my hands. From our point of view as players, we do it on the pitch. We commit to the club and do as much as we can and whatever happens outside of our control, happens."
Tottenham are 20/1 to win the Premier League this season.
