Harry Kane is Tottenham Hotspur’s top scorer this season with six goals to his name despite spending a large part of the campaign on the bench due to injury.

Earlier, Kane’s future at Spurs looked uncertain as both the parties couldn’t reach an agreement over a new deal.

Earlier this month, top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and Serie A side AC Milan were keen on securing his signature in the next two transfer windows.

“To sign another contract is a special feeling. We have got a great young squad and the club is moving in the right direction.”

According to sources, Kane’s new deal will earn him a wage packet in the range of more than £100,000 a week with add-ons for achieving certain targets.

Vardy pockets around £120k a week at Leicester and Sturridge earns about £140k a week at Liverpool.
