Harry Kane says the Tottenham family want to stick together

Harry Kane believes there are few more attractive clubs in the world right now than Tottenham.
Spurs bid a dream farewell to White Hart Lane after 118 years on Sunday, with the 2-1 win against Manchester United seeing them end the season unbeaten on home soil.

Finishing runners-up represents Tottenham's best league finish since 1963, with the progress and promise of Mauricio Pochettino's side matched by that off the field as their new stadium takes shape.
However, such positivity is tempered by speculation about key players - and the manager - being lured elsewhere but Kane has played down such concerns, saying their focus is all on trophy-hunting next season.
"We're a family on and off the pitch," Tottenham's last goalscorer at White Hart Lane said.
"We work so hard as a group and the staff, the manager and, look, there are not many better teams to be at around the world at the moment.
"We've got a very bright future, a great squad, a team that's hungry to win and to learn and to get better.
"Of course there's going to be rumours over the summer, but I think I'd be very surprised if most of us aren't still here next season.
"It's a special bond and I don't think you always get that at clubs, that's why we've got to hold onto that, make that motivate us to hopefully be out there next year at Wembley lifting a Premier League together.
"That's got to be the next step, lifting the trophy and having celebrations like that but with a title or a cup. That's got to be our aim and we've got to use this as motivation to get there.
"We've got to get the fans behind us, we've got to keep the fans believing and, look, we have got to just believe in ourselves.
"We finished obviously third last season, second this year - we've got to try and take that next step and try and finish first."
The talent is there along with confidence - and the White Hart Lane send-off gave the players a glimpse of the party that lies in wait if they win a trophy.
"Exactly, that's got to be the next celebration," Kane added.
"It was special out there on Sunday, but imagine what it would be like winning a Premier League, or winning an FA Cup or a Champions League or something?
"That's got to be our next step. We're young but we're getting more experience year in, year out.
"We've just got to go and make it happen. We've got the team, we've got the belief, so next season hopefully it's our year."
