Key Tottenham star not in squad for Shakhtar friendly as Van de Ven watching from stands ahead of £43m transfer | The Sun

HARRY KANE started for Tottenham in the friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk – but his potential replacement missed out.

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 took the armband against Shakhtar in a friendly to raise funds for Ukraine.

Incoming defender Micky van de Ven, 22, was 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, was not in the squad to face Shakhtar due to a knock but is expected to return for Tuesday’s friendly in Barcelona.

Centre-forward Kane'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.

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.
