<p>LONDON &mdash; If Harry Kane does want to leave Tottenham, he hasn’t told his manager.</p>
<p>Sky Sports, one of the Premier League’s major rights holders, reported Monday that Kane has asked to be sold after becoming unhappy with the lack of progress at the club.</p>
<p>That’s news to interim Tottenham manager Ryan Mason.</p>
<p>Asked whether the England captain has asked to leave, Mason said on Tuesday: “No, not that I’m aware of.”</p>
<p>“All of my conversations with Harry have been about the game,” added Mason, speaking ahead of Tottenham’s league match against Aston Villa. “All these conversations, I am not so sure. I don’t know.”</p>
<p>Mason said Kane will start against Villa on Wednesday in a game being played in front of 10,000 Tottenham fans.</p>
<p>“He starts tomorrow because he is our best striker and he is one of the best strikers in the world,” Mason said. “I have been consistent, I am here for the next two games and that is my main focus in preparing a football team and winning a game of football. Hopefully we can do that and Harry can get on the scoresheet.”</p>
<p>The 27-year-old Kane has a contract with Tottenham until 2024. He has yet to win a trophy with the club.</p>
