Harry Kane has signed a new six-year contract with Tottenham.

Talks between Tottenham and the England captain had progressed well following another excellent season, in which Kane scored 41 goals in all competitions for his club.

Kane’s previous deal was due to expire in 2022 but Spurs have moved to reward him with a new contract that reflects his continued progress and status as one of the leading strikers in the world.

Kane was paid around £100,000 a week but the new deal is expected to be worth double that, making Kane comfortably the highest-paid player at the club.

The news is a major boost to Spurs after manager Mauricio Pochettino agreed a new five-year deal at the end of last month and that is expected to be followed by several player contract announcements in the coming weeks as Spurs conduct talks.

Harry Winks and Davinson Sanchez have already agreed long-term deals this summer, while the club would like Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Heung-min Son to do the same .
