HARRY KANE is more likely to join Manchester City than remain at Tottenham.
That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve priced the centre-forward at 8/11 to join the Premier League champions before September 3.

Kane has been seeking to end his 17-year association with Tottenham.
And speculation intensified last week when he failed to report for pre-season training.
However, Kane denied refusing to train in a statement after heavy criticism from supporters.
He wrote on Instagram: “It’s almost ten years since I made my Spurs debut. For every one of those years, you – the fans – have shown me total support and love.
“That’s why it hurts to read some of the comments that have been made this week, questioning my professionalism.
“While I won’t go into the specifics of the situation, I want to clarify that I would never, and have never, refused to train. I will be returning to the club tomorrow, as planned.”
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed that Kane had indeed returned to training and has to quarantine before joining his colleagues.
Nuno said: “Harry is with us. He has to quarantine. He is in The Lodge but he is training. Already made the first day with the sports scientists. He is with us.”

The striker is undoubtedly Tottenham’s greatest player of the modern era having bagged 221 goals and provided 47 assists in 336 appearances.
But Kane wants regular silverware, Champions League football and a serious crack at the Premier League title.
Tottenham’s position is that they will not sell to another Premier League club under any circumstances and are resolute on their £150million asking price.
Despite Kane’s recent statement, City are confident that they’ll get a deal over the line and Betfair agree – pricing Kane at 8/11 to join the Etihad heavyweights.
Pep Guardiola has added fuel to the fire after unexpectedly declaring his interest in the striker.
He said: “He (Kane) is a player for Tottenham Hotspur and if Tottenham don’t want to negotiate, it is finished.
“I think Man City and many clubs in the world want to try to sign him, we are not an exception, but it depends on Tottenham.”
The Walthamstow-born forward is 10/11 to remain a Spurs player and those odds are perhaps a result of his contract situation.
Kane still has three years left on the six-year deal he signed in 2018, which expires in June 2024.
Manchester United are offered at 11/1 to pull off a surprising transfer hijack with Chelsea further behind at 14s.
Mauricio Pochettino’s Paris Saint-Germain are offered at 14/1 with Real Madrid and Liverpool the outsiders of the pack at 40s.
