The England international has been linked with a move, with his contract running out next summer.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has stated that he has 'an amazing' relationship with Tottenham Hotspur's striker Harry Kane.

There is uncertainty around the future of the Spurs' captain, but Pochettino said he would not comment on it. Kane has just one year remaining on his Spurs contract and has been linked with Bayern Munich.

He could leave Tottenham for free if he runs down his contract at the North London club. Kane has reportedly built a house near Chelsea's training ground, and rumours are rife that he could be preparing for a move to Stamford Bridge next summer.

"I don’t like to talk about players from another club, but you are talking about one of the greatest in the world. It’s not fair to talk; it’s not fair to say nothing," Pochettino said in a press conference.

"People are not stupid; fans are not stupid, they are so clever, and they know my relationship with him was always amazing.  I saw him grow up and achieve all he was achieving, and, of course, we have a great relationship.

"At the moment, we are thinking in different ways. We are not thinking about that."

Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly not ready to pay £100 million for their summer target, Moises Caicedo. According to The Guardian, the Blues hope £80 million will be enough to sign the Ecuador international.

The Londdon club is also not ready for an exchange deal that will involve Levi Colwill. Colwill was on loan with Brighton last season, but Chelsea want to give the 20-year-old centre-back a new long-term deal.
