Erling Haaland, Karim Benzema and two Chelsea outcasts confirm Champions League U-turn Mirror says The big men are back. If Tuesday’s first Champions League semi-final is set to be defined by who comes out on top between Karim Benzema, the Ballon d’Or winner, and Erling Haaland, the force ripping up the record books, then Wednesday night’s Milan derby might well be shaped by less popular centre forwards who equally show that the No9 is having a renaissance. Not too long ago, at the peak of the false-nine era, theorists suggested that No9s were a dying breed. The example of Harry…

Miami Grand Prix: Max Verstappen’s statement win Max Verstappen showed his dominance over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez by winning the Miami Grand Prix from ninth place on the grid.

A big summer awaits in Kane’s career (Picture: Marc Atkins/Getty Images)
Harry Kane’s future is set to be a huge talking point when this summer’s transfer window swings open in June.
The 29 year-old is approaching the end of his contract with Tottenham and he is yet to win a trophy in north London having come through the club’s academy.
Kane, who this season became the highest goalscorer in Tottenham’s history, has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe – including Premier League rivals Manchester United.
But when exactly does Kane’s contract expire with Tottenham?
When does Harry Kane’s contract expire?
Kane’s contract with Tottenham will expire in the summer of 2024.
The England striker signed his current six-year deal back in 2018 worth up to £200,000 a week including bonuses.

Kane signed the contract after helping Spurs finish third, second and third in the previous three seasons.
An appearance in the Champions League final followed a year later, but since then Tottenham’s performances and results have declined.
Since reaching the final against Liverpool in Madrid, the highest the club have finished in the Premier League is fourth.
Spurs have also failed to progress past the fifth round of the FA Cup in that time and they were also beaten by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final in 2021.
And so with Kane entering the final 12 months of his contract, this means that Daniel Levy will have a big decision to make this summer.
The Tottenham chairman could decide to sell Kane this year to guarantee a transfer fee for the club.
However, Levy could elect to keep his star man for next season in the hope of eventually persuading him to sign a new contract – but this would risk Kane walking away from the club as a free agent in 2024.

Will Harry Kane sign a new contract with Tottenham?
According to The Telegraph, the growing expectation is that Kane will not sign a new contract with Tottenham.
Kane’s advisors have not commented on his situation, but sources within the club are said to believe there is little hope he will extend his stay.
Manchester United are thought to be laying the groundwork ahead of a potential bid this summer, with Tottenham set to demand at least £100 million to part company with him.
Bayern Munich also have an interest in acquiring Kane’s services, but The Telegraph state he is keen to stay in England and break Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record.
