Harry Kane is counting on Manchester City finding a breakthrough with Tottenham over his signing by the weekend.
The Sun says Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is playing hardball over the deal but club sources are now resigned to Kane leaving.
City are understood to be readying a second offer of £120million for the England captain after failing with a £100m bid earlier in the summer.
Levy is still adamant his star striker is worth closer to £160m.
But deteriorating relations between the player's camp and the chairman have hardened the Euro 2020 star's resolve to go.
Kane trained with his Spurs team-mates for the first time on Tuesday.
