Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is determined to keep hold of Harry Kane this summer.
The Mirror reports Manchester City have stepped up their interest and are pushing to get a deal done, although Spurs insist they have yet to receive a formal offer for the England captain.
Chelsea have also made enquiries while Manchester United are watching developments closely but it is City who seem determined to steal a march on their Premier League rivals.
However, Levy is adamant that they will not sell this summer - even though Kane has made it very clear that he wants to leave to try and win trophies at another club.
City boss Pep Guardiola is targeting a big name striker after Sergio Aguero left and that has looked Kane's most likely destination.
But Levy knows that, amid their managerial search which is rapidly becoming a farce, selling Kane would be a devastating blow.
But all the managerial candidates have been told that Kane will be staying even if the search for a new boss has become a farce.
