Manchester City fans mocked Tottenham with a brutal chant about wantaway forward Harry Kane.

The Englishman was absent from his team’s Premier League opener against the champions due to a lack of fitness.

While the home side secured a 1-0 win against the 2020/21 winners, they are still facing a battle over their captain.

Throughout the summer, the 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Pep Guardiola’s side, having expressed a desire to leave North London in May.

With Kane missing training earlier this week and failing to appear during pre-season, speculation has only grown of his exit to City.

And BBC reporter Hayley Mortimer has reported that the travelling fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tried to rub salt in the wounds of the Spurs faithful.

Chants were heard at the 62,000-seater stadium of the away supporters singing “Harry Kane, he wants to be blue”.

Kane has been at Spurs for 17 years, arriving as an 11 years and working his way up the academy.

After loan spells at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester, he broke into the first team at the end of the 2013/14 season, going on to score 221 goals in more than 300 games.

But the lure of City’s title-winning ways under Guardiola could tempt him, with the club reportedly putting in a £120m offer this week.

Owner Daniel Levy, though, remains determined to only let the club's second leading scorer of all-time leave the club for a fee worth £160m

And, with three years left on Kane's contract, there is no need to settle for less.

Kane admitted earlier this summer that he was pondering his future, as he said: “I don’t want to come to the end of my career and have any regrets. I want to be the best I can be.

“I never said I’d stay at Spurs for the rest of my career and I’ve never said I’d leave Spurs.

“People might say, ‘he’s desperate for trophies, he needs trophies’, but I still feel like I’ve still got almost another career to play.

“I’ve got seven, eight years, kind of what I’ve already had in the Premier League. So I’m not rushing anything, I’m not desperate to do anything.”
