“I do not know why [this happened]. The situation at Tottenham is very clear. The plan is very clear with the club. Harry is part of the project. He’s a very important part of the project and yes just a rumour.

“I think maybe it’s a bit disrespectful to the other club. This is my way. This is my way of dealing with the situation with other players.”

Kane asked to leave Spurs last summer, but after a failed move to Manchester City, the 28-year-old helped Conte’s side finish fourth to qualify for this season’s Champions League.

‘Bayern wants to see if Kane is interested in a move’
