Harry Kane insists his conscience is clear after trying to leave Tottenham for Manchester City

Harry Kane is adamant his reputation remains intact after breaking his silence on the failed attempts to leave Tottenham for champions Manchester City.

In what was one of the most high-profile transfer sagas of the summer, Kane was last week forced to accept that he would be staying in north London as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy refused to sanction his exit.

And the England captain has spoken for the first time about the deal that never was, telling talkSport: ‘I know there was a lot of noise around me but I was calm. I knew the situation between me and the club.
