Ange Postecoglou: New Tottenham head coach says he has not had any assurances over Harry Kane's Spurs future

July 10, 2023

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

Sky in Germany are reporting that Bayern Munich have submitted a second bid for Kane worth £68m plus add-ons, with the England captain said to be wanting to move to the Bundesliga champions.

The 29-year-old has entered the final year of his Spurs contract but Tottenham insist he is not for sale and the club would not welcome any bids for the striker.

Postecoglou said at his first Tottenham news conference: "No, I haven't had any assurances [over Kane's future] 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."
