Postecoglou: No assurances over Kane's Spurs future

 

New Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou says he has "not had any assurances" over Harry Kane's future at the club.

In his first press conference at Spurs, Postecoglou said: “No, I haven’t had any assurances and I wouldn’t expect any assurances because with these kind of things you’re never dealing in definites or certainties.

“I’m trying to concentrate on the things that I know right now, and what I know right now is that Harry’s part of this squad. He’s looking forward to coming back to training, getting amongst the players back in here and we start working together.

“If I spend too much time worrying about the impact that it may have either way, I’m going to miss trying to build a team because ultimately that’s what’s going to make us successful. If we build a team that plays football a certain way. I’m not going to miss this initial opportunity to lay down what I know is going to be important in the long term.

“What’s important in the long term goes beyond individuals. It’s more about overriding philosophy on who we want to be as a team and the key people within that.”
