Harry Kane has told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport it would “stupid” for any Tottenham Hotspur players to leave in the near future.
Kane and Dele Alli are among several Spurs stars to have been linked with some of Europe’s top clubs, but both signed new long-term contracts this season.
Spurs are in contention for the Premier League title for a second season running and will move into a new £750 million stadium for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
And Kane said: “I’d be surprised if any of my teammates would go now. Something is happening here and we just need to take that last step, which is to win trophies.
“It would be stupid to leave now. We’ve got one of the best coaches in the world [Mauricio Pochettino] — maybe the best. We’ll have a new stadium soon. The future is bright.”
The striker described England international teammate Alli as “a fantastic player” and added: “Tottenham is the right place for him, even if many other clubs want him.
“We’ve got a great future and he is part of it, so there is no reason for him to leave.
“You’ve got to decide between earning a lot or following your own ambitions and playing in the best league in the world and winning titles. I don’t see any reason why we can’t win the Premier League.”
Spurs challenged Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester for the title last season only to collapse in the final four games and finish third — and there is again an Italian manager, Chelsea’s Antonio Conte, at the top of the table.
“It seems like there’s always an Italian between us and the title, but it’s not over yet,” Kane said. “We went close last May and that experience is going to be useful to us now.”
He praised Conte as “a great coach” but stressed: “We’re not giving up. Beating them [2-0 earlier in January] gave us great confidence because they were really flying and we stopped them.
“If we play like that, we can beat anybody.”
