"There needs to be a point where enough is enough. Probably the time limit for me is the end of June," he added.

The striker explained that there is no point to extend the season till July and August as it will cause a delay in the commencement of the next season.

"Playing into July or August and pushing next season back, I don't see too much benefit in that," Kane said.

"If the season's not completed by the end of June we need to look at the options and just look forward to next season. Obviously, I don't know too much about behind the scenes and financially," the striker added.

Spurs are at the eighth spot in the Premier League table and have already been eliminated from the Champions League.

To contain the spread of the virus, the English football season has been suspended till April 30. Many clubs are allowing the use of their facilities to combat the highly contagious virus.
