A lot of the "Kane is leaving" talk seems like wishful thinking on the part of rival fans.
And let's see how things shake down before we go too far with the "Spurs have to win things" line of thinking. Last time I checked they were still in the FA Cup, still in the CL and still in the mix for a CL berth for next season as well. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they win something this year, and everyone knew that this was going to be a difficult one because they had their "home" games at Wembley.
Unfortunately though, selling is just part of the game now. Both Sanchez and Coutinho moved this month and there are players being sold by both PSG at this point and if the rumours are true Real Madrid this summer because they need cash. I wouldn't describe those clubs as traditional "selling clubs", but here we are.

I see the 'Kane Scenario' quite differently.
Most of the time when players are getting poached by Real or Barca is because its been their dream to play for those teams, you dont see that as often with British players as you do with Continental players or South American players. They dont have that same love for Spanish teams.
Especially because they're going from growing up in a Spanish-based culture to a bit of a shock in England, and playing in Spain is a pretty sweet gig especially once you consider their laughable wages.
Kane probably grew up dreaming about playing for Sheffield Wednesday on a rainy afternoon on the South Coast or something equally preposterous.
