Right then, that's all from us today.

Harry Kane staying at Spurs eh, who would have thought it.

And by the sounds of it another big transfer tug of war is just starting between Paris St-Germain, Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid.

Thanks for being with us throughout. Remember that you can follow tonight's three EFL Cup games here.

Just for ease we'll leave you with some of the big stories of the day to mull over.

• Kane says he is staying at Spurs
• Real Madrid make £137m bid for Kylian Mbappe
• All you need to know about the Champions League draw

See you soon.

Now what about this...

PSG's sporting director Leonardo has described Real Madrid's approach for Kylian Mbappe as "disrespectful, incorrect and illegal".

Leonardo went on to say that if Mbappe wants to leave, "we will not retain him, but he will leave or stay on our terms".

"If a player wants to leave, he will leave. The club, the project, remain above everyone. But we have done everything" to convince him to stay.

Paris St-Germain's sporting director Leonardo says the club has turned down Real Madrid's 160m euros (£137m) bid to sign Kylian Mbappe.

Apparently the proposed fee is "not enough" for a player they want to keep.

"Our position has always been to keep Kylian, to renew his contract," Leonardo said.

The French World Cup winner, 22, joined PSG in 2017 in a transfer worth £165.7m and his contract expires in June 2022.

Perfect timing....

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has his say on the matter: “We have faced global problems together in the past and must continue to do so in the future.

"The release of players in the upcoming international windows is a matter of great urgency and importance. I am grateful for the support and cooperation from many stakeholders in the game during this challenging period.

"I am calling on a show of solidarity from every member association, every league, and every club, to do what is both right and fair for the global game. Many of the best players in the world compete in leagues in England and Spain, and we believe these countries also share the responsibility to preserve and protect the sporting integrity of competitions around the world.

"On the issue of quarantine restrictions in England, for players returning from red-list countries, I have written to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and appealed for the necessary support, in particular, so players are not deprived of the opportunity of representing their countries in qualifying matches for the Fifa World Cup, which is one of the ultimate honours for a professional footballer.

"I have suggested that an approach similar to that adopted by the UK government for the final stages of the Euro 2020 be implemented for the upcoming international matches.

"Together we have shown solidarity and unity in the fight against COVID-19. Now, I am urging everyone to ensure the release of international players for the upcoming Fifa World Cup qualifiers.”

Statement just landing from the English Football League, saying its clubs have taken the collective decision not to release players for international matches that are to be played in countries on the UK Government’s red list in September.

Pretty much aligns with the Premier League's position on the matter.

Would Cristiano Ronaldo move to Man City just to out-do Lionel Messi?

The Telegraph's Luke Edwards and Josh Pugh debate that very matter on the Transfer Gossip Daily podcast.

This way for today's episode.

Harry Kane was right to mention Tottenham’s supporters in his statement.

Their reaction to his introduction at Wolves on Sunday was crucial in determining how this summer’s longest running transfer saga played out.

Chairman Daniel Levy was determined to hold Kane to his contract, which still has three years to run.

Yet Levy would have had a tough call to make if keeping Kane meant opposing his own fans.

But by proclaiming Kane as ‘one of our own’ at Molineux, the Tottenham fans signalled their willingness to forget the England skipper’s barely concealed desire to leave.

The can may just be being kicked down the road to subsequent transfer windows of course. After all, Kane is unlikely to become less ambitious over time.

But for now, Tottenham’s world class striker stays where he is. Levy has got his way again.

Former Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder Michael Brown saying it as it is.

Luke: As a neutral the Kane news is great for the league. Nuno is a terrific manager overlooked because Spurs tried to get almost everyone else. Top four not beyond them in my view.

Good point, Luke. Spurs' top four chances will certainly have improved.

More from Tottenham boss Nuno on Harry Kane: "I think it's up to us and everybody, and the player himself [Harry Kane], to get his motivation.

"There should not be any kind of doubts in terms of motivation to play for Spurs. Amazing club, good team. We are in a process and we need everybody involved."

I asked Nuno Espirito Santo about Harry Kane's wording of 'this summer' in his statement and whether Kane said he is committed for the season.

He sounded unconcerned. "I’m not worried at all," was the reply.

Straight bat from the Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo to a question about Harry Kane's specific mention of "this summer" in his tweet earlier, which raised questions about future transfer windows.

"I am not worried at all," Nuno said.

"It's day by day, he's an option for tomorrow. It's the only thing, my only thought. I am not going to say what we speak about. It's between us."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been doing his thing in front of the media prior to Thursday's game against Pacos de Ferreira in the Europa Conference League.

And he is beaming with joy that Harry Kane's immediate future has been resolved. "It is great news. Fantastic news," Nuno said.

"I think since Harry joined us he has been working so this is what we value. His attitude in training has been excellent.

"It's finished, Harry is going to be with us. He is an option for tomorrow. It is great news for everybody. We are all very happy one of the best players in the world.

"Delighted to have one more option for the season ahead of us."

It was this fella, according to L'Equipe, external.

Can it, will it?

Who were Manchester City linked with again earlier today?

Come on Daniel. Didn't he also say in an interview that he'd like to play with Kevin de Bruyne...?

Daniel McAdams: I don't remember Kane himself saying anything more than he wanted to talk with the powers at the club. But glad he has put the rumours to bed.

Harry Kane, 28, has of course been a major target for Manchester City this summer.

City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed their interest on 6 August, but added: "If Spurs don't want to negotiate then there is nothing more to say."

But an initial bid from City - reportedly worth £100m - was turned down and Tottenham and Daniel Levy's resolve has been unwavering throughout even if the forward was late getting back off his holidays.

Kane, who played his first game of the season on Sunday, coming on as a substitute in the 1-0 win over Wolves, received a warm welcome for the Spurs fans and manager Nuno Espirito Santo has also called him "one of the best players in the world".

Simon:Gary Neville must be annoyed his meddling never got Harry Kane his move to Man City.

Nick Orchard: It must have been the new away kit that made him stay.

Love a bit if kit chat, Nick. Here is the kit in question. A work of art isn't it.
