Tottenham will make Harry Kane the highest paid English star in the Premier League.

With Manchester City's Raheem Sterling the best paid English player on £180,000-a-week, Spurs face splashing out up to £200,000-a-week to keep their striker.

Kane's £110,000-a-week basic salary ranks him only equal 35th in the list of the League's highest earning stars, as Sportsmail revealed last week, and there is an acceptance Kane's deal no longer reflects his standing in the game.

The 24-year-old is already Spurs' top earner, having signed a new contract tying him down until 2022 in December 2016.

He also has a good bonus structure, but the striker's weekly wage is considerably less than many England players.

Sterling's City team-mate Kyle Walker's basic weekly salary is around £130,000 while Daniel Sturridge commands £150,000 at Liverpool.

Kane's £110,000-a-week puts him on a par with the likes of Ashley Young at Manchester United, but his earnings are modest compared to the league's best paid players, Paul Pogba (£290,000) and Romelu Lukaku (£250,000).

Spurs have a history of rewarding their stars with regular pay rises based on performances, but Kane's astonishing 56-goal haul in 2017 — and interest from mega-rich clubs like Real Madrid — will force the club to break their stringent wage structure and pay him around £200,000-a-week.
