Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Arsenal still after hesitant Allegri

Harry Kane will not leave&nbsp;Tottenham&nbsp;now that Jose Mourinho is at the helm, claims Peter Crouch, with the appointment of a proven winner allowing a prolific striker to chase down trophies in craves in current surroundings.
