Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has insisted that talk of a transfer to Manchester United has not been a distraction, and that he is still "focused" on life at White Hart Lane.

United have been linked with a new move for the 22-year-old, but a report earlier this week claimed that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy would reject any approach for the England forward.

Kane himself maintains that he is not looking to move away from the club and remains adamant that he is purely concentrating on his performances this season.

"I'm happy. I'm focused on what I do," he told The Telegraph. "I'm happy at Tottenham, which is a great club headed in the right direction.

"I just want to get the games going, get into the rhythm and start scoring goals."

Kane will start up front for Mauricio Pochettino's side as they host Stoke City this afternoon.
