Harry Kane focuses on World Cup despite Barcelona’s interest in England forward

By Jonathan Veal, Press Association, Kansas City

Harry Kane is fully focused on England’s bid for World Cup glory after Barcelona made an informal enquiry about signing him this summer, the Press Association understands.

Kane became England’s record goalscorer at the World Cup after scoring three goals in the group stage to take him past Gary Lineker to 11.

The 32-year-old will be hoping to add to his tally in the round of 32 clash against the Democratic Republic of Congo in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Barcelona contacted Kane’s camp enquiring about the possibility of a summer move, but it was shut down, with the Bayern Munich man not entertaining any talk of his club future during the tournament.

Kane had a record-breaking season for Bayern, scoring 61 goals in 51 games as he topped the European goalscoring charts.

He has one year left to run on his deal at the Allianz Arena and conversations over a new contract have begun, with neither camp worried about the situation.

Barcelona have already signed one England international this summer after bringing Anthony Gordon in from Newcastle for nearly £70million.
