Danny Rose has revealed that he has spoken to Harry Kane about the striker’s future at Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Spurs left-back was part of the Tottenham Hotspur side which reached the Champions League final under Mauricio Pochettino alongside Kane.
Rose was part of Stadium Astro’s punditry panel for Spurs’ 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa yesterday afternoon which saw Kane net his 210th Premier League goal in the dying stages of the game from the penalty spot.
Tottenham once again started the game slowly and found themselves having now conceded seven goals in the opening ten minutes across their last five Premier League matches when Leon Bailey easily beat Ben Davies down the right flank to square the ball to Jacob Ramsey to beat Fraser Forster.
Villa added a second 18 minutes before the end when Douglas Luiz scored from a free-kick to pile the misery on Tottenham, who are now seriously at risk of missing out on European football.
Rose admitted that he has recently been in contact with Kane and asked him about his plans for next season, with the former defender admitting that he believes Kane holds the power in the situation rather than chairman Daniel Levy.
He told Stadium Astro: “I texted Harry [Kane] probably about ten days ago, just seeing how he was, and then I asked him the question, ‘What’s happening?’
“He didn’t give too much away, and then I saw him after the Man United game and we had 20 minutes.
“We spoke and he’s very much clued up on what he’s going to do next season, and for me I don’t think Daniel [Levy] holds the cards with Harry at the minute.”

SpursWeb Opinion
It is a sad state of affairs when Tottenham fans would not begrudge Kane the opportunity to leave the club and win trophies elsewhere, since it really is not going to happen anytime soon in north London.
Levy will know that this summer realistically represents his last chance to cash in on Kane and pocket upwards of £80million for his exit; whether he is prepared to strengthen a Premier League rival remains to be seen.
