Mason on Kane's future
Tottenham interim manager Ryan Mason has spoken out on Harry Kane's future at the club.
Kane, who is out of contract next year, has been linked with a move away from Spurs.
Manchester United are rumoured to be interested in his signature.
Speaking on the striker, Mason said: "Our focus is on Harry until the end of the season like it is on every other player."
Mason was also asked about recent comments from Arsene Wenger, who claimed Kane should stay at the club for another year.
And Mason said: "At the end of the season, there are some decisions to make for different people and different players.
"The reality is Harry is still a Tottenham player and we are still focused on him achieving more great thing with this great football club and hopefully he can do that."

One Fel swoop
Joao Felix wants to play in the Premier League next season — and not necessarily for Chelsea.
SunSport understands incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino would ideally like to keep Felix.
And Todd Boehly could offer several players to Atletico Madrid as the Blues look to drive down his £88million price tag.
However, Cope claims Felix is not as keen as Chelsea to continue the partnership. He does want to continue in the Premier League after adapting quickly.
But while staying at Stamford Bridge remains an option, Felix’s primary goal is to play in the Champions League.
And that could open the door for a move to one of the current top four, with Liverpool also an option should they nick a late spot.
Manchester United have already been linked with a move for Felix.

Kane advised to join United
Louis Saha has urged Harry Kane to save his career by quitting Spurs for Man Utd this summer.
He told Paddy Power: “I respect the Spurs fans, and so does Harry Kane but when we look at his career and what he represents for English football, it would be nice to see him win a trophy, but I don’t think that’s going to happen at Tottenham.
“As players, we all want a title or a Champions League – that's Harry Kane’s level. To be totally honest, I can see him winning the Premier League if he joins one of the current top four teams. I love Manchester United so much and for me, that’s the perfect fit for him.
“Another season without Champions League football at Tottenham won't be good for Harry Kane. I would advise him to consider Manchester United very strongly.”

Asensio opens door to switch

"A lot more will come out. I am in a world where there are a lot of rumours and I can’t control that.”

Bellingham urged to snub Real
Didi Hamann believes Jude Bellingham should snub a mega-money Real Madrid deal and stay at Borussia Dortmund this summer.
He told Bestgamblingsites: "I think for him, for his development, it would be best to stay one more season at Dortmund and then move on, move wherever he wants.
"I think there is a chance because the longer it goes on, and there’s no finalising of a deal with anyone, it gives Dortmund more of a chance to keep him.
"If Dortmund are to win the League this season, he’ll be part of an invincible team and the people of Dortmund will never forget that."

Rice ‘perfect match’ for Gunners
Arsenal and Declan Rice are a match made in heaven, according to Tim Sherwood.
He told William Hill: “I would be surprised if he was still there [at West Ham] next season.
“He’s been heavily linked with Arsenal and I think that would be a perfect move for him. I think he’d make a real difference.
“It looks like Granit Xhaka is going to move on with it being the end of his contract and Declan looks the perfect player to slot into that role and improve it.”

Utd 'fear missing out on Kane'

That’s according to the Mirror, who suggest Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Goncalo Ramos from Benfica could be more realistic strike options.

Arsenal 'won't suit Balogun'
Folarin Balogun needs a team suited to his style – and it's not Arsenal.
That's the verdict of ex-Liverpool winger John Barnes as the England Under-21 striker nears the end of a glorious loan season with Ligue 1 club Reims.
England legend Barnes told bettingexpert.com: "Balogun is doing really well for Reims because the way they are playing suits him very well.
"But just because he is doing well for Reims that doesn’t mean he all of a sudden will come back to England and perform in the same way.”
“Tammy Abraham is doing well at Roma and Smalling as well because they are playing a kind of football that suits them, which is what matters.”
“So, just because he is doing well overseas doesn’t mean that he will come back to Arsenal and play instead of Jesus or Nketiah.
“I think he should either stay there or move to a club that suits him very well and I don’t necessarily think that he is going back to Arsenal.”
