Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham Hotspur will spend around £25million to keep young stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli at the club, according to reports.
With the England pair drawing considerable interest from clubs at home and abroad, The Sun reports that the north London club are to increase their wages to ward off potential suitors.
Kane, who has seven goals in 14 matches in all competitions, is to see his wages rise from around £45,000-a-week to £70,000-a-week, while Alli, who scored his first England goal in midweek, will reportedly see his wages double to around £25,000-a-week.
The club will hand the pair five-year deals taking the total cost to about £25m because of add-ons and bonuses.
The report states that neither play asked for a wage rise, but Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said that they have earned it.
"If you are successful the club gives you what you deserve. This club always pays its players a good salary," said the manager.
