Tottenham Hotspur plan on staving off transfer interest in Harry Kane by opening up a fresh round of contract talks.

Kane pushed to leave Spurs last summer after becoming frustrated at the club's failure to win silverware. Manchester City and other clubs who were expressing a desire to sign Kane were unwilling to meet the £150 million asking price.

Champions League qualification would ensure Kane could play in Europe's top tier competition once again and sources claim he has been impressed by Antonio Conte's determination to aggressively overhaul the Spurs squad in a bid to turn them into title challengers.
