Tottenham manager Antonio Conte and star forward Harry Kane could leave the club if owner Daniel Levy doesn’t provide financial backing, according to Trevor Sinclair.
Kane was heavily linked with a move away from the club last summer with Manchester City looking to bring to forward to the Etihad but a deal failed to materialise.

Conte, on the other hand, was brought in to replace Nuno Espirito Santo earlier this season with the aim to secure Champions League football.
It was expected that he would be back in the January transfer window and he did manage to bring in Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus.
However, Spurs also lost Tanguy Ndombele, Dele Alli, Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso, leaving Conte to admit that the squad was actually weakened.
Reports on Friday morning suggested that Kane would only sign a new contract with Spurs if Conte is given full backing in the transfer market.
Now, former England winger Sinclair believed both Kane and Conte are on the same page.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Sinclair said: “He’s echoing his manager. I think he’s sat down and had a grown-up conversation with Antonio – and both of them are on the same page.
“They want to know that there’s going to be assurances.
“I think they need to invest £150million-plus in the summer if they want to get in the top four and start fighting for trophies.
“If Kane knows that kind of money is being spent, he’ll be happy to stay at the football club.
“If it’s not, I think both him and Conte, there’s a chance they’ll both leave in the summer.”
Sinclair’s thoughts were reiterated by Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who admitted he cant see Conte at Spurs past the summer if he isn’t given everything he wants.
Wright said on his Wrighty’s House podcast: “I feel for Antonio Conte because unless they’ve told him in the summer, ‘we’re going to give you everything you want’, I cannot see him staying there. I can’t see it.
“Spurs cannot carry on how they are now, nothing happening in January, with a manager like Conte. A winning manager, a manager who’s aggressive and wants to win.
“The way Spurs are at the moment, I’m sorry, that game against Wolves… come on, man. Come on.
“I don’t know what he’s going to do. I would be frustrated if I was him. I cannot sit here and feel like Conte is happy with his lot unless he knows more than we know in terms of the summer. Why would he stay for that?”
