Tottenham Hotspur have an eight-man shortlist of players who could replace Harry Kane.
That's according to one report which says that in the event of the England captain and Spurs' record goalscorer leaving north London, the Lilywhites will pursue one of a varied range of targets.
With chairman Daniel Levy said to be heading the search for Kane's successor, a number of high-profile player have emerged as potential No.9s. The 29-year-old striker has been a part of Tottenham's preseason plans regardless, though, and has settled back into the squad under new manager, Ange Postecoglou.

According to the Mail, there are a number of forwards on the shortlist to replace Kane, should Tottenham part ways with their talisman.
Dusan Vlahovic, who Tottenham wanted when Antonio Conte was still in charge as per the Express, is still on the potential shortlist, after moving from Fiorentina to Juventus. The Serbian's heir at I Viola, Arthur Cabral, is another option.
Beto at Udinese and Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord – linked with Spurs around the same time as Arne Slot for the management job – complete the potential list.
