Tottenham are still in title race insists Harry Kane

Harry Kane has insisted to Sky Sports News HQ that Tottenham are not out of the title race yet.
Spurs have won only two of their last eight Premier League games and were beaten for a second time in three matches by Manchester United on Sunday.
Mauricio Pochettino's side are fifth and have a point more than at the same stage last season, but they are 10 points short of league leaders Chelsea.
But, ahead of Spurs match with Hull at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, Kane told Sky Sports News HQ: "I definitely don't think we are out of the title run.
"We were at a similar stage this time last season and this was when we starting putting good results together. In December and January we picked up a lot of points.
"That gives us belief to go and do that again. There are so many good teams in the league now that the teams above us will definitely drop points and it will be up to us to capitalise on that.
"I think the next four games are very important for us to go and win. That will take us to 19 games, halfway through the season. We'll see where we are at then and take it from there."
Kane recently signed a new six-year contract that put him among the highest earners at the club and the striker - a graduate of Spurs' youth academy - believes these are exciting times at the club.
And he insists that, as long as they continue to progress towards being one of the top clubs in Europe, there is no reason why he cannot remain a one-club man for his entire career.
"I've said before that, as long as the club's moving in the right direction and has a clear vision of where they want to go, then I don't see why not," the 23-year-old said.
"Everything is bright and in place to be one of the top clubs in Europe, so as long as that stays the case there'll be no reason for me to move.
"I'd never say never to playing abroad. It depends on the circumstances and where I am at in my career, whether I am happy with what I've achieved. The Premier League is definitely something I want to do well in. We'll have to wait and see but, as I said, as long as the club's still moving forward there would be no reason to go anywhere.
"Signing the new contract was a very proud moment. I've signed a few new contracts over the last few years but every time I do it gets that little bit sweeter, that little bit better. I'm very happy to be here."
