Dimitar Berbatov spots "pretty clear sign" about where Harry Kane will end up

Former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov says there's no wonder Harry Kane will be "p****** off" with the club – and insists there are "clear signs" over what will happen next.

Kane missed Spurs' opening 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday amid the Premier League champions' desire to sign him this summer.

He will also be absent when Nuno Espirito Santo's men take on Pacos Ferreira in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, deciding against making the trip to Portugal.

The England captain, who has three years remaining on his contract, is reportedly keen to join City after being promised a transfer by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy at the end of last season.

And in an interview with Betfair, ex-Spurs star Berbatov has admitted he understands why Kane has been left furious with Levy.

"It has been confirmed that Harry Kane won't be playing in Portugal for the club's European match on Thursday, and if this goes on until the transfer window closes, he could end up missing five matches in total," he said.

"The fact he is already going to miss two is a pretty clear sign to me.

Do you think Harry Kane will leave Tottenham? Let us know in the comments section below.

"I know first-hand that it is a very difficult situation, but even with everything going on I would like to see him play.

"At least that way he could help the team. If he doesn't get involved in any matches, then I think we have a problem."

Berbatov added: "If [Kane and Levy] did speak at the end of last season and they had a gentleman's agreement which has been broken, it isn't a great situation and it's no surprise that Kane is p****d off," he added.

"I have been in this situation and all I have to say is that they should have expected and anticipated this.

"Kane's team shouldn't have been so naive with this situation because football is a business. Of course, we like that gentlemen's style of shaking hands and saying, "yes, you have my word", but sometimes in football it doesn't work like this and you get angry.

"You have to expect for these things to happen and plan how to avoid it or react to it when it happens.

"In this case, the only scenario I can see that will resolve the situation is for City to give Daniel Levy what he wants, knowing how he does business that's the only way Kane will go.

"He is going to be tough up until the last minute of the transfer window."
