These are exciting times for Tottenham Hotspur.
Harry Kane, the recently appointed England captain, has inked a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur. According to reports, the new deal will see Kane double his previous salary of £100,000-a-week in a move that breaks Tottenham’s strict wage structure.

The new deal ties the striker to the club until 2024 and follows the five-year deal signed by Pochettino next month. Kane, 24, ended the last campaign with 30 Premier League goals to his name. He’s established himself as one of the most prolific goal scorers in world football in recent years, finding the net 108 times in 150 appearances in the English top flight.
Kane is currently with the England squad as they prepare to fly out to Russia for the World Cup. He played no part in the 2-0 warm-up friendly win over Costa Rica on Thursday evening, watching from the bench as Marcus Rashford and Danny Welbeck helped Gareth Southgate’s team ease to victory.
He is expected to start in the Three Lions’ opener with Tunisia a week on Monday.
Tottenham played their home fixtures at Wembley Stadium for the entirety of last season. They had initially expected to be in their new stadium by the start of the 2018/19 campaign but have asked the Premier League to schedule their early fixtures away from home to allow for the construction work to be completed.
