Harry Kane says he is not paying attention to the ongoing speculation at Tottenham.
Kane headed the only goal of the game against Crystal Palace on Saturday to overtake Wayne Rooney and become the second highest Premier League scorer in history, sending Spurs up to sixth and boosting their hopes of European qualification.
Reports have suggested Tottenham have been encouraged in their pursuit of former Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann as permanent successor to Antonio Conte, but Kane avoided any discussion of what lies next at Spurs.

“That’s down to the club,” Kane said when asked about recent speculation.
“If I end up speaking to the chairman towards the end of the season I’m sure he’ll fill me in on what he’s thinking, but ultimately we have three more games.

“We don’t want to look too far ahead or get carried away. The club will make the best decision for everyone, the players, the fans, the club in general and we just have to wait to see what that is.”
Victory over Palace was the first win for Ryan Mason in his second spell in temporary charge, with Brighton just two points behind sixth-placed Spurs with three games in hand on them.

“It was his first full week of training and preparation. He changed the system without the ball to go 4-4-2 and then with the ball to go back to what we’re used to with the 3-4-3, but to keep possession a little more, be more patient and not force it forward as quickly.
“I thought we controlled large spells of the game. I still think we’re lacking a bit of confidence in certain areas under pressure in tight spaces.
“But full credit to Ryan for making those decisions and I’m really happy we were able to win and keep a clean sheet.”

Ralf Rangnick has suggested Julian Nagelsmann should take over at Tottenham but would benefit from working with a sporting director
Last month, Ralf Rangnick suggested Nagelsmann should go for the Tottenham job.
The ex-Manchester United manager, who mentored Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, believes Spurs have the right set-up – but he would benefit with a sporting director with him.
Rangnick was sporting director for the Red Bull franchise of clubs, including Leipzig and Salzburg, between 2012 and 2015 and then again from 2019 to 2020.
“I think Tottenham is an exciting club in many ways,” Rangnick said in the Sky Germany studio.

Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg admits there’s been too much instability at the club this season for them to perform at the best of their ability
“Although he is not a big spender, he knows the football business and would not put himself in the centre of the cameras.
“If Tottenham really want him, then I think it would be important if a sporting director was still there to support him.
“It can be a very, very exciting story. There is room for improvement, a lot of room for improvement and yet this is not a club where the house expects you to be in the top one or two right away.”
