Harry Kane’s future was not up for discussion as England’s top clubs chose to avoid summer transfer talk concerning the England captain. Kane’s future has been thrown into doubt after he

to demand a fee believed to be in excess of £150million, a transfer saga looks like playing out over the summer. Mason was asked 16 questions about Kane over a 30-minute period  ahead of
