Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo has had to field questions about Harry Kane on a regular basis, and his stock answer in the past week was that that England man had been training well. The striker is still keen on securing a move away from the club in the summer transfer window but a deal has not been struck
'Harry is our player' - Nuno refuses to be drawn on Kane speculation
Harry Kane has been placed on the bench by Tottenham for the clash with Wolves on Sunday.
Kane has been one of the stories of the summer transfer window, with the forward keen to head to Manchester City for a fresh challenge.
Tottenham have so far stood firm, and there was controversy earlier this month when it was claimed Kane failed to report for training.
The striker denied that was the case, saying he would return at a date agreed with the club, but he failed to make the squad for the opening game of the season.
Kane was not missed, as Tottenham pulled off a shock win over Manchester City thanks to a goal from Son Heung-min.

'We'll decide tomorrow' - Nuno on Kane playing against Wolves
Nuno said in his press conference on Friday that a decision on Kane’s participation against Wolves would be taken after Saturday’s training session.
Reports on Saturday evening said Kane would travel with the squad to Wolves, and that has proved to be the case.
It would appear Nuno did not deem him ready to start, as the 28-year-old is among the substitutes for the game at Molineux.
