Football aficionados and exotic car buffs are in for a treat as England captain Harry Kane's limited edition Bentley Continental hits the market.

A steadfast performer - much like Tottenham hero Kane himself - the world-famous footballer has amassed an impressive collection of vehicles throughout his goal-scoring exploits and this particular Bentley Continental GT Supersports is more than just a set of wheels. Purchased by Kane in 2020 for over £200,000, he described it as "a beautiful, beautiful car."

This exclusive motor, one of only 710 produced, is now up for grabs at £70,000 on Auto Trader. Kane opted for a white finish to honour the hues of Tottenham - and England - complemented by sleek black 21-inch alloy wheels.

The car boasts opulent features such as massage-capable heated and ventilated seats, an electric rear spoiler, and an eight-speaker sound system, with 25,400 miles recorded. "It's not every day that a car such as this with such star appeal comes on to the market," Auto Trader's editorial director Erin Baker remarked.

"Kane's former Bentley Continental is a rare example of luxury craftsmanship, and with its celebrity connection, so it's sure to turn heads."

Baker anticipates significant interest on their platform, which sees over 80 million visits monthly, predicting the unique vehicle will draw the gaze of football enthusiasts and car connoisseurs. The narrative around Kane is certainly revving up as he gears up for Monday's World Cup qualifier clash against Latvia, marking the start of Thomas Tuchel's stint as coach.

After transferring from Tottenham to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023, Kane was entitled to an Audi, as per the German heavyweight's sponsorship deal. He opted for a sleek black Q8 e-tron valued at £58,000, aligning with the tradition that Bayern players drive Audis to training and match days.

Kane isn't new to luxurious rides; his garage has seen the likes of a £100,000 Range Rover and a modest £35,000 Jaguar F-Pace. The Bentley Continental GT Supersports became his pride and joy five years prior, only to find out that now-former teammate Dele Alli had made the exact same luxury purchase.

At the time, Kane expressed his thrill for sports cars: "I thought I'd treat myself to a sports car and I was looking at most of them really, but because I play golf I wanted something with a bit of room, nothing too low, something a bit different."

"They are only making 710 of them. I've gone for white with black wheels. It's a beautiful, beautiful car. It's my first real sports car. Down the line, maybe if I win a few trophies, I can treat myself to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini."

With no Premier League football this weekend, a Tottenham Hotspur Legends team will be taking centre stage for Spurs.

A host of former Tottenham players will be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to take on AC Milan Glorie, with the proceeds for the match going to charity. Funds raised from the match will go to the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm on Sunday afternoon.

The full Tottenham Legends squad has already been confirmed for the fixture, which includes the likes of Ledley King, Sandro, David Ginola, Robbie Keane, Teddy Sheringham and Dimitar Berbatov. Milan will also have several legends of their own, including Cafu, Andrea Pirlo, Nelson Dida and Serginho, among others.

Tottenham have work to do in the summer transfer market as they look to kick on after a difficult 2024/25 campaign. A top-half Premier League finish looks unlikely as things stand right now but Spurs can still finish the term with silverware as they attempt to triumph in the Europa League.

Injuries have proved incredibly costly over the course of the season and Ange Postecoglou went for extremely long periods with only the same small group of players to work with. Things do look better in terms of Tottenham's squad at present but new additions need to be brought in to ensure they aren't left too short again.

Much has been made over the course of the season that Liverpool are in danger of losing Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah on free transfers due to their contract status. A number of other players will also be out of contract come July 1 and that presents Johan Lange and Tottenham with the chance to sign some very talented stars for absolutely nothing.

With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at five players who are set to be available on free transfers this summer.

Jonathan David (Lille)

Jonathan David still remains a Lille player despite plenty of talk regarding a transfer away from the Ligue 1 club over the past few years. However, this summer finally looks to be the time when he will exit as his contract expires very soon.

David certainly won't be short on offers after plundering 107 goals in 224 games for Lille, with 23 of them coming this season. The Canada international could be quite the bargain for prospective new clubs if he can transfer his form in France to his new team.

Amid Richarlison's injury struggles in his three seasons with Tottenham, the north London club could really do with signing a new striker ahead of the 2025/26 season. David would be the perfect addition going on his prowess in front of goal.

Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich)

Tottenham require a bit more quality in the wide areas as they look to take their attack to the very next level. Well, Leroy Sane is on course to depart Bayern Munich on a free transfer unless he is to agree on fresh terms before the end of June.

Sane, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, has plenty of experience at top of European football and his spell in the Premier League with Manchester City means he could hit the ground running if he is to return to the UK. As far as free transfers go, this would be quite the coup.

Angel Gomes (Lille)

Tottenham have yet to find the perfect solution to their woes in the No.6 position. It must be at the top of Lange's priority list in the summer.

Former Manchester United player Angel Gomes would certainly offer Spurs options in the middle of the park as he can play in a range of different roles. The 24-year-old is a very impressive technical player and he was rewarded for his form in France with his first England call-up last year.

Gomes, who was born locally in Edmonton, is another who will have teams after him for the 2025/26 season, with a Premier League return potentially on the cards.

Kyle Walker-Peters (Southampton)

Tottenham require a new full-back this summer as they bid to improve their playing squad. With left-back seen as an area that needed addressing before Djed Spence's emergence in the Spurs XI and his incredible performances from the left, right-back may be the position to look at right now.

Former Tottenham man Kyle Walker-Peters is certainly someone who could provide cover for Pedro Porro at right-back and he would also help the club out with their homegrown numbers. Spurs have been unable to fill all four club-trained places in their European squad this season, with the 27-year-old able to be included in that category following his time coming through Tottenham's academy as a youngster.

Roony Bardghji (F.C. Copenhagen)

Roony Bardghji came to the attention of a number of top clubs in 2023/24 following a standout season for F.C. Copenhagen. The right-winger has not featured this campaign due to a serious knee injury sustained last May but hopefully it shouldn't be too long until he's involved again.

The hope will be that the Sweden Under-21s ace can return to the high levels he was producing prior to his injury setback. If that is indeed the case, the Swedish starlet will have a host of interested clubs across Europe. With Spurs building a team for the future, Bardghji could be a great option.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur could go head-to-head for the signing of midfielder Enzo Millot this summer.

With Jorginho and Thomas Partey out of contract at the end of the season, Arsenal will look to bring in new reinforcements for their midfield. They have been long-term admirers of Spain midfielder Martin Zubimendi and football.london understands Arsenal have already made moves behind the scenes to bring the Real Sociedad midfielder.

Zubimendi came close to joining Liverpool last summer before rejecting a deal last-minute. There is a €60million (£51million) release clause in the Spain international’s contract and it's been reported the Gunners could meet that clause early in the summer.

But it also appears that Arsenal have become alert to Millot's potential availability. The 22-year-old, who joined Stuttgart from Monaco in 2021 and has gone on to become one of Bundesliga's impressive young midfielders.

He played a significant role in Stuttgart's surprise second place finish last season - starting in 27 games in the Bundesliga.

German outlet BILD claims he's attracting interest from several European clubs. Chelsea and Liverpool were reputedly credited with an interest in the January transfer window.

But Arsenal and Tottenham are now mentioned as potential suitors heading into the summer. The French star has all but confirmed his plans to move on at the end of the season.

"A departure? Yes, of course, that’s a goal I’ve set for myself. To be able to take a step forward," he said.

Millot is reported to have a £16.7million release clause in his contract. The Gunners are expected to chase midfield reinforcements while Spurs could look to bring in younger options after a season impacted by injuries.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters probably cannot wait for this season to end. Bar the Europa League there has been little for Spurs fans to get excited about this year.

Things could still end on a high, by winning the Europa League, but a tough test against Eintracht Frankfurt stands in their way in the quarter-finals before potential semi-finals and a final.

But, given what has happened this season, minds are already being drawn to next year and what could happen. Will Ange Postecoglou still be in charge?

As well as the question over the head coach's future, thoughts will soon turn to the release of the fixture list as well as the release of the club's new kits for the 2025/26 campaign.

While the official thing is highly anticipated, there's a growing market in football for concept kits too. There is a growing community of people who want unique, artistic shirts that are designed, either by designers on computers, or run through artificial intelligence.

So here at football.london we thought we would try and have a piece of that market too. We asked our designers to run Tottenham home and away kits through AI to see what concept kits it came up with. And here are the results...

Home kit

First up the home kits and we've got two to show you that give off 2018/19 vibes. A white main, with the navy blue across the bottom that really does remind us of that last full season under Mauricio Pochettino.

The first does at least have the nice unique touch of having the blue spots on the shoulders and sleeves.

Then we've got some diagonal lines that remind us a little of the 2015/16 shirt, albeit with the diagonal lines in this one going from top right to bottom left, as opposed to the other way around.

After that we've got a collection of more crazy numbers. The first is white with blue sleeves and what is almost pebble-dash orange down vertically through the middle of the shirt, with similar blue thrown in for good measure.

Then there's another with some blue patches on and a big blue smattering at the bottom of the shirt, which runs into some orange with orange shorts.

Finally we've probably got the craziest of them all. The classic white shirt with an almost paint-mixed orange and blue swirl that starts on the sleeves and runs through the bottom half of the shirt.

Away kit

There's a real diverse selection when it comes to what AI has done with the Spurs away kits.

First up we've got a yellow shirt with hints of blue running through it. Pretty understated, but looks good.

Then we've got another reasonably understated one, a blue shirt that resembles a number of other blue away kits of the past, with hints of white running through it.

Now, are you ready for some incredible ones? These next two are an amalgamation of blue and orange, with some white running through the second one too.

Could you see Spurs running out in either of these?

Then we come to our personal favourite. Who doesn't love a black kit?

Here we've got a black shirt with gold/orange tints. We would love to see this one on display at away games next season.

Goalkeeper kit

The AI also did us a goalkeeper kit. Or at least that's what we think, given the big gloves and the long sleeves.

Much like the first away kit, this is an orange shirt that we could see being used, with some blue hints running through it.

It is rather quiet at Hotspur Way right now with the vast majority of Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham squad away on international duty. The break in play may have come at the perfect time for Spurs as they bid to finish a disappointing 2024/25 campaign on a high.

The team's mixed form has left them languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table but they do still have the opportunity to win silverware in the Europa League. Spurs return to European action in early April when they take on German side Eintracht Frankfurt in a quarter-final double-header.

At a time when things are finally easing up on the injury front, Postecoglou and Spurs will be praying that every player returns from international duty at full fitness and not carrying any knocks ahead of some key fixtures that will define their season. So how have Tottenham's internationals fared this week? football.london takes a look below.

Mikey Moore (England Under-19s)

Mikey Moore came off the bench for England Under-19s on Wednesday evening as they beat Wales 2-0. The Tottenham starlet was introduced in the 72nd minute and 12 minutes later he had an assist to his name after teeing up Shumaira Mheuka to double their tally.

Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyeok (South Korea)

South Korea were held to a 1-1 draw against Oman on Thursday in their World Cup qualifier following a late Ali Al-Busaidi equaliser. Son Heung-min captained his country and played the full 90 minutes but Yang Min-hyeok was an unused substitute. South Korea's next game comes against Jordan on Tuesday.

Pedro Porro (Spain)

Pedro Porro got 90 minutes in the tank on Thursday evening as Spain drew 2-2 away at Netherlands in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final tie. The Spurs right-back will be looking to do the same at the Mestalla on Sunday as the Euro 2024 winners try to advance to the semi-finals.

Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie (Italy)

Italy were also in UEFA Nations League quarter-final action on Thursday night as they lost 2-1 against Germany despite taking a ninth-minute lead. Guglielmo Vicario had a watching brief on the substitutes' bench as Gianluigi Donnarumma was in net but Tottenham teammate Destiny Udogie played the full match.

Yves Bissouma (Mali)

After a really frustrating period for Yves Bissouma in a Tottenham shirt with the player not hitting top form and subsequently finding himself in and out of the team, a return to international duty with Mali was perhaps exactly what he needed. His outing against Comoros will certainly have given him a much-needed confidence boost as he laid on two assists in a 3-0 win.

Central African Republic are next up for Bissouma on Monday and he will be desperate for a repeat ahead of returning to Tottenham with some huge games on the agenda.

Rodrigo Bentancur/Cristian Romero (Uruguay/Argentina)

Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero went head-to-head on Friday evening as Uruguay hosted Argentina in a World Cup qualifier. It was Romero and Argentina who prevailed in the end after securing a 1-0 win courtesy of Thiago Almada's goal.

What will come as a major boost to Postecoglou and Tottenham is that Romero played the full match in Montevideo. Since returning from injury earlier in the month, the World Cup winner has only completed 90 minutes once in his three Tottenham appearances.

His minutes for Argentina should certainly stand him in good stead for some pivotal Tottenham matches at the beginning of April, with his country's game against Brazil on Tuesday evening giving him another opportunity to top up his fitness levels. Bentancur also managed to play all 90 minutes for Uruguay, who take on Bolivia on Tuesday.

Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel (France Under-21s)/Archie Gray (England Under-21s)

There was a Tottenham reunion at Stade du Moustoir on Friday as France Under-21s beat their English counterparts 5-3. Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel represented France as Archie Gray came off the bench for England for the final 12 minutes of the contest.

Odobert had quite an impact on proceedings as he notched two assists after teeing up the final two goals of Hugo Ekitike's hat-trick. The Frenchman's treble should certainly act as a warning to Tottenham as they will soon be coming up against the Eintracht Frankfurt hotshot in the Europa League at the beginning of April.

Whereas Odobert got 85 minutes in the tank, Tel came on for the final 24 minutes after taking the place of hat-trick hero Ekitike. France Under-21s are away at Slovenia on Monday evening and England Under-21s host Portugal at The Hawthorns on the same night.

Dominic Solanke (England)

Dominic Solanke will have to wait to make his first England appearance under new head coach Thomas Tuchel as he was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win over Albania on Friday night. An opportunity could potentially be on the cards on Monday evening when Latvia make the trip to Wembley Stadium.

Dane Scarlett and Ashley Phillips (England Elite League squad)

Dane Scarlett made his case for more Tottenham minutes with a goal for the England Elite League team in their 1-1 draw with Portugal. The striker, who captained his nation in Leiria, now has 11 goals in as many games while representing England Under-21s and the Elite League squad.

Scarlett played 60 minutes and Tottenham teammate Ashley Phillips stayed on for the full game. The duo will be back in action on Monday evening when they face Switzerland in Spain.

Jamie Donley (Northern Ireland)

Jamie Donley's senior international career is now up and running after making his debut for Northern Ireland. The Leyton Orient loanee started the 1-1 draw against Switzerland on the bench but he was introduced early in the second half at Windsor Park.

Donley, who was wear No.10 on the back of his shirt, wasn't far off from making it a dream debut as Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel produced a reflex save to stop his glancing header from a corner creeping in at the near post. A first start could potentially come his way on Tuesday evening when Northern Ireland take on Sweden in Stockholm.

It is a game that could see Donley come up against Tottenham teammate Lucas Bergvall, although it is not clear if the Swede will be in a position to play yet after he was ruled out of Sweden's friendly against Luxembourg on Saturday due to illness.

Tottenham have already banked almost £12million from their Europa League run, but will be hoping to add even more to the coffers with a run to the final.

There is still around £14.5million up for grabs if Spurs go all the way and lift the trophy, but Eintracht Frankfurt and then semi-final and final opponents are standing in their way.

If they do go all the way, not only will Ange Postecoglou be fulfilling his promise of winning silverware in his second season, it will also see Tottenham qualify for the Champions League next season. And with that comes even more money.

Postecoglou is under increasing pressure at Spurs, with Europa League glory the only thing left for the Lilywhites to play for this season, with the club languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table.

The Australian did not shy away from his record at previous clubs when speaking about his ambitions for the season. Back in September he said: "I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second season. Nothing's changed. I've said it now. I don't say things unless I believe them."

That promise is now hanging by a Europa League thread. While all the supporters want is to win a trophy, of any kind, given 2008 was the last time a Tottenham captain lifted a piece of silverware aloft, there is the added incentive of Champions League qualification for the Europa League winners and a seat at Europe's top table.

With that, comes increased prize money, which will help Daniel Levy and the club's hierarchy with transfer targets in the summer.

When looking at how much Spurs have made in prize money in the Europa League this year, it is interesting to note just how much they would have made had they been in the Champions League.

Spurs have already banked £11.96million in the Europa League so far this season, but the same record in the Champions League would have seen them secure £39million!

There's still another £49million for the Champions League winners this season to earn, compared to the £14.5million Spurs would earn by lifting the Europa League. Postecoglou's promise is worth more than just jubilation to the supporters.

Gone are the days when a team would wear the previous season's change shirt if they were unable to don their current home or away top due to a kit clash. Clubs would very rarely release three kits a season in the past but it is now commonplace for virtually all sides.

Since switching to Nike in the summer of 2017, Tottenham have had some very interesting third kit designs to say the least. Some have proved incredibly popular - with one now iconic after their run to the Champions League final back in 2018 - and some have not gone down well at all with the fanbase.

It's fair to say that the vast majority of Spurs supporters will be extremely happy if the leaked images of next season's third kit are genuine. Not only will Tottenham be reverting to yellow, the club crest that was used between 1999 and 2006 will make a triumphant return.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to football.london's live blog of this afternoon's legends match between Tottenham and AC Milan.

A number of Spurs legends will take to the pitch today against some of the best players to play the game. Andrea Pirlo and Cafu line-up for the Italian side.

It's set to be a day packed with action and excitement. If you're not attending, stay tuned as we bring you all the details needed....

Lucas Bergvall has made quite the impression in his debut season for Tottenham. Always going to need time to adapt to the pace and intensity of the Premier League, the Swedish star has been a regular in Ange Postecoglou's team since the beginning of December.

Bergvall has delivered some huge displays since then, including his eye-catching performance against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup where he scored the winner, and last month Pep Guardiola claimed the Spurs ace is "unstoppable" every time he is in possession of the ball and runs. Not only that, the 19-year-old now looks to have secured a place in Postecoglou's first-choice Tottenham XI and his importance to the side has been clear for all to see in recent months.

Bergvall has also wowed those watching on back in his homeland of Sweden, including former Tottenham defender Erik Edman. The former full-back has heaped praise on his fellow countryman and likened his adaptation to the Premier League to Freddie Ljungberg after his Arsenal transfer back in 1998.

Edman also believes Bergvall is similar to his former Tottenham teammate Michael Carrick, who went on to win the Champions League with Manchester United two years on from his 2006 Spurs departure.

“If I look back 30 years, there is one player who has gone from the Swedish league straight into the Premier League and made an impact, and that’s Freddie Ljungberg," the Swede told Tottenham's official website. "Normally speaking, every Swedish player needs to take another step, maybe going to the Championship, maybe another league in another country, to get used to the bigger stage, a higher tempo, all those types of things, but Lucas has adapted phenomenally well.

"I thought he might even need to go on loan for a period to adapt to the English game, but he’s taken his opportunity. He’s growing physically and he loves the physical side of the game.

"Lucas reminds me a little of a young Michael Carrick, who I played with that season at Spurs in 2004/05. What a player, played off both feet, never lost the ball, always evaded pressure. Lucas is an intelligent footballer. He’s adapted from Sweden to the Premier League, absorbed all the information, and that’s the sign of a talented player, technically and mentally.

"In Sweden, we’ve been looking for a top-class midfielder. We’ve had great strikers like Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), Henrik (Larsson), those guys, now we have Kulusevski, Isak, Gyökeres, but we’ve been lacking a top-class, holding midfielder. I don’t know if fans will remember a midfielder called Jonas Thern, he had some really great years at Benfica, Napoli, Roma, that calibre of player. Maybe, in a year or two, he could be at that level.

"It will be interesting when Spurs play Eintracht Frankfurt – they have a player called Hugo Larsson, another young Swedish player, two years older than Lucas, they are probably fighting for the same spot in the Swedish national team at the moment. It will be interesting to see how that develops, but I have to say, Lucas looks the real deal."
