Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge insists that Harry Kane does not have time to wait for Tottenham Hotspur to rebuild their squad.

Spurs are currently in the midst of squad building, under the stewardship of new Director of Football Fabio Paratici.

They have secured the signings of winger Bryan Gil on a permanent basis, with Erik Lamela moving to Sevilla in exchange and goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini from Atalanta on an initial loan.

Spurs are also reported to be in talks over a deal to sign Cristian Romero from Atalanta in the coming days, while a number of first-team players have moved on, along with Lamela.

Toby Alderweireld has moved to Qatari club Al-Duhail SC, Juan Foyth has moved to Villarreal, and Danny Rose and Paulo Gazzaniga have moved to Watford and Fulham respectively on free transfers.

Kane has failed to report to training this week as he attempts to force through a move to Manchester City that would cost in excess of £100m.

And Bridge does not think he has any more time to wait for Spurs to build their squad.

He said: “He has got no time for another rebuild. Tottenham are rebuilding right now. Tottenham have still got to sell a lot of players and they’ve got to sign a lot of players, and this is what we’re discussing now.

“Harry will be looking at this and saying ‘hang on a second, I was 28 last week, I have no time for this, I’ve given my all, give me that opportunity.”
