Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is too savvy to risk possible dressing-room unrest by cashing in on striker Harry Kane, according to Harry Redknapp.
Former Spurs boss Redknapp handed Kane his debut in 2011, but it is current manager Mauricio Pochettino who has got the best out of the 21-year-old.
A return of 21 goals from 34 Premier League appearances last term has paved the way for Kane to be linked with a big-money move to Manchester United, but Redknapp cannot see the youngster leaving White Hart Lane.
Redknapp told talkSPORT: If Harry Kane left Tottenham there would be uproar. It would send out all the wrong signals to Tottenham fans.
I don t think Daniel Levy will sell Harry. He knows what that would do to the club.

Young Boys defender Scott Sutter is desperate to make his dream of a homecoming to English football a reality in the off-season.
The former Aston Villa and Charlton youngster, now 25, moved to Switzerland in 2003, where he has been ever since lining up against Tottenham, the side he supports, in the Champions League last season as well as representing his adopted country at international level.
But he told Goal.com that the time is right for a return after coming really, really close to joining Blackburn Rovers in this year s January transfer window.
I was there for three days, Sutter said.
I was there for physical and medical tests and I also had a friendly game amongst the team, and that went really well – then I sat down with Steve Kean. He s a re…
Wolves forward Raul Jimenez has revealed doctors told him it is a miracle that he survived his fractured skull suffered after a clash of heads in November.
Jimenez made his return to Premier League action in Saturday s 1-0 loss to Leicester City after eight months out following the sickening accidental collision with Arsenal s David Luiz.
During a lengthy on-field delay, the Mexican was put on a stretcher and given an oxygen feed, before he was taken to hospital for emergency surgery.
There were initial fears that the 30-year-old may never play again but he revealed the concerns were greater than that when he fronted the media on Tuesday.
With the skull fracture, the bone broke and there was a little bit of bleeding inside the brain, Jimenez said. It wa…
Wales manager Rob Page was relieved to gain an important point in their World Cup opener against the United States, and praised Gareth Bale s intelligence in winning a second-half penalty.
The United States took a deserved first-half lead through Timothy Weah, though an improved Welsh side came back in the second and equalised via Bale s 82nd-minute spot kick.
The 1-1 draw leaves both two points behind England after the first games in Group B in Qatar after the Three Lions beat Iran 6-2 earlier on Monday, but Page was happy enough with a point and suggested his team were the ones who could have won it late on.
It was a really important point for us, he told reporters at his post-match press conference. I thought for the last 10 minutes if anybody was going to go…

Hamburg have completed the signing of Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.
The Netherlands international has returned for a second spell with the Bundesliga club, where he previously played between 2005 and 2008 before moving to Real Madrid.
Van der Vaart went on to join Tottenham in 2010 and has played in both of their Premier League matches this season despite repeated speculation linking him with the German club.
While in the United States on Spurs pre-season tour, the 29-year-old insisted that he planned to stay at White Hart Lane but a move was revived as the transfer window drew to a close.
Earlier on Friday, Van der Vaart s representative, Roberto Geerlings, confirmed that his client was on his way to Hamburg to undergo a medical.

Japan will successfully defend their Women s World Cup title against United States in Vancouver on Sunday, after Olivia the parrot predicted on Friday.
In scenes reminiscent of Paul the Octopus at the men s FIFA World Cup in South Africa 2010, 10-year-old Olivia a grey parrot had little hesitation in selecting the Japanese flag over the American one at her home, the Nasu Animal Kingdom in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
Paul the Octopus correctly predicted all of Germany s seven matches at the 2010 World Cup, and Olivia has also showed her prowess so far.
For Japan s semi-final against England, she twice selected the English flag before changing her mind and eventually landing on the Rising Sun much to the joy of the locals.
The match was England s for the ta…
that Arsenal’s Mathieu Flamini is set to secure a move to Galatasaray after the two clubs agreed terms on a deal for the midfielder.
The France international started just fifteen Premier League games for the Gunners last season, having returned to the club from Milan in the summer of 2013.
Across two spells, the 31 year old has racked up just shy of two hundred appearances in all competitions under Arsene Wenger, scoring eleven goals and winning three FA Cups – one of which came prior to his move to Italy.
He has three caps for his country, but hasn’t featured for them since coming on as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Serbia in 2010 World Cup qualification victory over Serbia almost seven years ago.
Galatasaray have already made one signing fr…
Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic defended Nigel de Jong, after the Dutchman was involved in a heated stoush with Pep Guardiola at half-time of a club friendly.
Guardiola s Bayern Munich were 3-0 winners over the Serie A outfit at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, but the former Barcelona boss was aggrieved with the treatment of his players in an exhibition match for the second time in 12 months.
The Spaniard seemingly took exception to De Jong s early challenge on Joshua Kimmich, who was forced from the field with a resultant injury in the 21st minute.
In August 2014, Guardiola refused to shake hands with MLS All-Stars coach Caleb Porter when Bayern lost 2-1 in an exhibition clash in Portland after he was unhappy with Will Johnson s tackle on midfielder Bastian Schweins…
