Nike are ready to dump Tottenham star Harry Kane and sign Manchester City ace Erling Haaland as their new figurehead.

England captain Kane, who has formerly held a contract with the sports brand, was originally set to renew his Nike deal after the World Cup.

However, talks of an extension have reportedly stalled in recent months following Haaland's impressive and eye-catching arrival at Manchester City.

The Telegraph says even though Haaland is not travelling to Qatar with his native country Norway, major sports brands including Nike are priortising a move for the 22-year-old ahead of the World Cup.

As a result, it is believed Kane's deal has now been put 'on hold', as boot manufacturers prepare to launch bidding war in an effort to lure the former Borussia Dortmund star.

Kane, who clinched the Golden Boot as England made the semi-finals in 2018, has yet to sign a deal with any of Nike's competitors, such as adidas, New Balance and Puma.
