Striker lands bumper six-year £62m deal Alli and Eriksen next in line for extensions
HARRY KANE has signed a bumper new Tottenham deal – and Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen are set to follow suit.
England striker Kane (left) has signed a six-year contract understood to be worth up to £200,000 per week, including bonuses.
And Danish midfielder Eriksen and England star Alli are the next in line to get lucrative new pay deals.
Eriksen has already emerged as one of the best midfielders in Europe, while Mirror Sport revealed months ago that Alli has held talks over a new contract. It is a huge boost for Spurs as
they prepare to
move into their new stadium, having already secured manager Mauricio Pochettino to a new deal.
Kane said: “Yes, it’s a big boost and I’m looking forward to starting next season.”
The new agreement could see the striker bank as much as £62.4million after he committed his future until 2024.
Spurs’ star man doubled his money having been on around £100,000 a week in his previous deal, which was signed in December 2016 and ran until 2022.
And the 24-year-old’s wage hike means more room for manoeuvre for boss Pochettino.
A string of other Spurs stars are in line for contract extensions, including the likes of Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen and Heung-min Son, while Michel Vorm has re-signed for another year.
And Pochettino’s hopes of putting them on deals to match their Premier League rivals have been helped by Levy agreeing to again lift the wage ceiling set by top-earner Kane.
The manager received enough assurances he would be backed during end-of-season talks with Levy to convince him to extend his stay until 2023.
