Harry Kane has quashed rumours of a Manchester United move by admitting he's happy to stay at 'big club' Tottenham.
United are believed to be in for the England striker but Kane says he is committed to his boyhood club after penning a new deal in February.
And Kane is willing to pass up the opportunity of playing Champions League football with United next season as he believes Tottenham is the right stage for him.
“Tottenham are a big club,” Kane said, “and that is the way people have to see it.
“I am at a big club now, I am enjoying my football and that is the way I am looking forward to next season."
Kane said he is not aware of any approach from United but that he is flattered by hearing of their interest.
“Obviously I am aware,” he said. “I have been watching Sky Sports and I have seen there is interest. But that is all I know. It is flattering for other clubs to maybe be interested. But, as I say, I am happy at Spurs and I am looking forward to the future at Spurs."
Kane was unable to help England Under-21s to victory as they went down 1-0 to Portugal in their Euro 2015 opener against Portugal last night. England now play Sweden here in Olomouc on Sunday.
“We know we what we have to do,” Kane said.
Obviously it was a disappointing start but that's tournament football for you and it is how you react.
“Hopefully we can react well and keep trying to play our way, get the win on Sunday and try to move forwards."
England have not won an Under-21s Euro finals game in open play in six years but Kane believes this group are able.
"We are a very, very good team but we haven’t been doing it in tournaments,” he said.
This is a high pressure game but (how you deal with it) is what makes you a top footballer.

“As a country, we have to get behind each other. It starts on Sunday. We know what we have to do. I think you could see we played well [last] night.
“It is fine margins and hopefully a few things will go our way. We will try and push on and there is a long way to go.”
Kane believes coming through the challenge of the next week – and hopefully for two games more – on the biggest stage at this level will make him a better player in the long run.
“We had done well in qualifying,” he said. “This is a high pressure game but (how you deal with it) is what makes you a top footballer.
“You have got to deal with those moments. There are definitely things that we can work on. We have got to go back, regroup and stick together. We have got to look forward to Sunday.”
