Key Tottenham star not in squad for Shakhtar friendly with Van de Ven set to watch from stands ahead of £43m transfer

HARRY KANE started for Tottenham in the friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk.

The England captain, 30, has been the subject of multiple bids from Bayern Munich this summer.

Bayern are said to have put a deadline of midnight on Friday for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to accept their latest offer, believed to be around £86million.

Yet there has been no development on that front more than 36 hours on and record-scorer Kane has taken the armband against Shakhtar in a friendly to raise funds for Ukraine.

Incoming defender Micky van de Ven, 22, is expected to be in attendance as he looks to tie up a £43m switch from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

Van de Ven is due to undergo a medical at Hotspur Way on Monday in a big boost to boss Ange Postecoglou who has been desperate to bolster the centre-back position.

But Richarlison, the man expected to step up if Kane does leave, is not in the squad to face Shakhtar due to a knock but is expected to return for Tuesday’s friendly in Barcelona.

The centre-forward’s future remains uncertain ahead of next week’s Premier League kick-off.

The 30-year-old has entered the final year of his deal with Tottenham.

Spurs are currently refusing to sell him for less than a whopping £100m.

And the North Londoners still hope to tie him down to a new agreement that would increase his £300,000-per-week wages.

But SunSport previously reported that Kane won’t accept any new contract offers from the club.

Instead, the Tottenham academy graduate is keen on moving to Bayern this summer.
