Tottenham fear Harry Kane will seek to exit this club this summer after running out of patience in north London.
The striker, who turns 27 next summer, has scored 171 goals in 262 appearances for Spurs but is yet to win silverware in his career.
Kane has attracted interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the past and would not be short of suitors should he opt to leave the club.
Spurs’ difficult start to the season reached its lowest point on Tuesday when they were trounced 7-2 by Bayern Munich at home.
Kane was said to be furious afterwards and the Times claim he led an inquest with captain Hugo Lloris in the dressing room afterwards.
Kane’s contract runs until 2024 but with Mauricio Pochettino’s future looking uncertain the club fear the striker may hand in a transfer request next summer.
Daniel Levy, Spurs’ chairman, will be desperate to keep the striker and the length of his contract means the club hold all the cards.
Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen are all into the final 12 months of their deals while Danny Rose was told he could leave the club last summer.
It’s likely, should Pochettino stay, that the next 18 months will be a time of rebuilding at the club and Kane must decide whether he can afford to wait as he enters his peak years.

The forward stressed that the squad must adhere to a certain set of standards and that they had dipped well below their requirements in the second half against Bayern.
The defeat was the last in a long line of poor results that extends back as far as January.
While Spurs reached the Champions League final in June, their league form took a huge dip and they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Colchester in September.
