Money not the focus for Kane

-

H A R RY K a n e insists no-one at Tottenham would prefer a big-money move to China over achieving success at White Hart Lane.

The Spurs striker hit a hat-trick in Saturday’s 4-0 Premier League win over West Brom in a week when he also celebrated becoming a father for the first time.

Kane opened the scoring early on against the Baggies before a Gareth McAuley own goal put Mauricio Pochettino’s side further ahead before the break.

West Brom were better after the interval but relied on a string of saves from Ben Foster to keep them in the game before Kane struck twice in five minutes to seal a comfortabl­e win and the match ball.

With the Chinese Super League looking to attract some of the world’s biggest stars, Premier League clubs can expect plenty of interest in their own talent.

But Kane says everyone at the club wants to stay.

“People are going to speculate about that but you can see how good a shape the club is in,” he said.

“The future is very bright. We’ve got one of the best managers in the world, if not the best. I’m pretty sure he’d stay (if a Chinese Super League club came in for Pochettino), he’s started a project here, we’ve got the stadium coming, so the future is very bright.

“Performanc­es like West Brom and winning games like that, the next step for us is winning trophies, so, hopefully, we can do that this season and push us on to the world scale.

“I’d be very surprised if any of our players went out there, especially within the next couple of seasons. What we’ve got going on is something great and I think it would be silly for the players here whoever may come and go not to be part of it.”
