England captain Harry Kane signed a new six-year contract with Tottenham on Friday.
British media reported Kane doubled his 100,000 pound ($133,700) weekly salary.
He has scored more than 20 goals in each of the last four English Premier Leagues, and returned a career-best total of 30 this campaign as Spurs secured a third consecutive top-three finish.
The announcement came just two weeks after Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino signed a five-year contract, ending speculation over his future amid reported interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
The 24-year-old Kane will captain his country at the World Cup in Russia, with England’s opening game coming against Tunisia in Volgograd in 10 days.
