Manchester City are preparing to make a final push to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham this week, according to reports.

The England captain has been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium since the end of last season.

Kane is desperate to join Pep Guardiola's side as he believes he has a better chance of winning silverware at City than at Spurs.

Daniel Levy is under no financial pressure to sell Tottenham's talisman, on whom he has placed a £160m price tag.

Reports last week suggested City would be willing to go as high as £150m for the England captain.

The striker made his first appearance of the season on Sunday, coming on as a second-half substitute in Spurs' 1-0 win at Wolves.

"Harry helped the team. We are talking about one of the best players in the world and we are very lucky to have him,” Nuno Espirito Santo said after the game. 

“It’s too soon to know if he will be involved on Thursday [against Pacos de Ferreira in the Europa Conference League]. Now I cannot answer that.

 “He is getting back to his fitness and he still has to improve. You could see the way he helped the team in terms of possession and the fine lines. We need everybody.”
