Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has told the club he wants to leave at the end of the season, reports said on Monday.
Kane is unhappy at Tottenham’s lack of progress this season and is willing to leave after 12 years with the north London side, Sky Sports reported.
The England captain reportedly wants his future resolved before the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 starts on June 11.

Kane’s contract with Spurs has another three years to run and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is known to be a tough negotiator, which could ruin the 27-year-old’s hopes of a quick resolution.
Tottenham refused to be drawn into debating Kane’s future in public as they focus on their final two English Premier League games, with UEFA Europa League qualification in their sights.
“We won’t be commenting — our focus is on finishing the season as strongly as possible. That’s what everyone should be focused on,” a club spokesman said.
Premier League champions Manchester City, Manchester United and UEFA Champions League finalists Chelsea have all been mooted as likely suitors for Kane, who has scored 32 goals in all competitions this term.
Paris Saint-Germain, managed by Kane’s former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, and Spanish giants Real Madrid have also been linked to the striker.
Kane, a product of the club’s youth academy, has scored 220 goals in 334 total appearances for Tottenham, establishing himself as one of the world’s best forwards.
Yet he sparked speculation about a potential move earlier this season when he said it was “hard” to talk about his future.
He has regularly spoken about his desire to win trophies, but has yet to land one with Tottenham, who are without major silverware since the 2008 League Cup.
During Kane’s time in Spurs’ first team, they have lost in the 2019 Champions League final against Liverpool and been beaten in two EFL Cup finals, including this season’s against Manchester City
Tottenham are without a permanent manager following Jose Mourinho’s dismissal last month.
With caretaker boss Ryan Mason in charge, Tottenham could qualify for the Europa League if they win their last two games of the Premier League season.

Sasaki allowed three runs and six hits over five innings. The 23-year-old right-hander gave up a home run to Ozzie Albies, but received plenty of offensive support in his
FOCUS: ‘We came out here with a goal in mind ... to keep our foot on their throat and on their neck, and continue to play 48 minutes of basketball,’ Donovan Mitchell said The Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday thrashed the Miami Heat to cruise into the next round of the NBA playoffs as the Golden State Warriors battled past the Houston Rockets 109-106 to move to the brink of a series victory.

Bayern Munich on Sunday were crowned German champions for the 34th time, giving striker Harry Kane his first major trophy, after second-placed Bayer 04 Leverkusen drew 2-2 at SC Freiburg. Bayern’s 3-3 draw at RB Leipzig on Saturday, when the Bavarians came from two goals down to take the lead before conceding a stoppage-time equalizer, meant defending Bundesliga champions Leverkusen needed to win at Freiburg to delay the title party. Leverkusen were two goals down before scoring twice in the final 10 minutes, but Xabi Alonso’s side could not find a third, as Bayern reclaimed the title at the first attempt after
