It’s been a good few weeks for Harry Kane as the striker was not only confirmed as England’s captain for the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup, but he also penned a massive contract with Tottenham Hotspur and the 24-year-old is understandably on the top of the world at the moment.

“I’m really excited, it’s a proud day. Obviously it’s been a great few seasons and I’m looking forward to the future,” the England skipper gushed to Spurs TV.

If media reports are to be believed, the Lilywhites’ deadly frontman is going to be earning a cool £220,000 per week.

That’s a nearly 100 per cent hike from his previous deal and the fact that the notoriously tight-fisted North Londoners have broken their strict wage structure suggests a few more players could sign across the dotted line in the coming weeks.

“I’m looking forward to the new stadium first and foremost and just to keep progressing as a Club.”

Wantaway defender Toby Alderweireld is one player in particular, who has been linked with a move away from London as talks for a new contract have stalled.

Despite being Spurs’ best defender, the Belgian hardly saw any game time as he was effectively frozen out of the squad due to his representatives impasse with the club board.

“It’s been fantastic to consistently get in the Champions League so I’m really excited to have another go at that and with the Premier League and FA Cup, we’ll look to go as far as we can. For us as a Club, it’s just about keeping improving and we’ll work hard to do that.”

Real Madrid were said to be circling, as they look to replace the ageing Karim Benzema and perhaps even Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even Gareth Bale was linked with a sensational return back to Spurs, but Kane’s extension effectively ends any chances of him leaving for the next two seasons, at the very least.

And with the uncertainty put to bed, the 24-year-old can concentrate on leading the Three Lions to their first World Cup triumph since 1966 with the tournament less than a week away.

“I’m obviously really excited about the World Cup coming up so it’s nice to get this done before that and I’m just looking to go out there and enjoy it now. It’s been a great season, like always the aim is to try to improve so hopefully I can do that this summer and obviously next season as well,” Kane added.

Gareth Southgate’s men have been drawn in Group G, along with Belgium, Tunisia and Panama. They open their campaign on June 18 when they take on the African nation.
