    I thought Kane was joining Man City – Tuchel

    Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he expected Tottenham striker Harry Kane to join Manchester City.

    Chelsea were also linked with Kane over the summer.

    But Tuchel said: “We never had a list with his name on it.

    “I also never went to the management and said ‘buy him’. We monitored the situation, but it was never close.

    “We did not have to experience the rivalry between Spurs and Chelsea.

    “I thought it would happen. I thought he would go to City, it would have been interesting to see actually. Then maybe they would change their way of playing.”

  • It’s time to move forward from Kane saga – Tottenham coach

    It’s time to move forward from Kane saga – Tottenham coach

    Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo says it is time to move on from the Harry Kane transfer saga.

    The England captain has committed himself to Tottenham this season after previously desiring a summer transfer, with Manchester City the closest linked.

    Kane scored twice in the 3-0 win over Pacos De Ferreira on Thursday, and Nuno insists his star striker has nothing to prove.

    “I see Harry every day since he joined us, and he doesn’t have to prove [anything] to anyone,” said Nuno.

    “He’s committed – you can see.

    “Everything that’s happened is part of the past, let’s move forward… I saw him today, at the end of the game, now it’s time to recover. He’s one more that will help us.”

  • Carragher warns Kane: Don’t ruin your relationship with Tottenham fans

    Carragher warns Kane: Don’t ruin your relationship with Tottenham fans

    Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has criticised Harry Kane for going AWOL from Tottenham training today.

    Carragher has labelled Kane’s alleged decision to skip Tottenham training “wrong” and says he fears the England international will “ruin his name”.

    Kane has been linked with a sensational £100million-plus transfer to Manchester Citythis summer but time is running out and Pep Guardiola’s side are yet to make a bid.

    Rio Ferdinand tweeted: “I’m not saying that Harry Kane and his tactics to leave are wrong (if we are to believe what’s being said). Harry wants trophies and he ain’t getting any younger.”

    Carragher responded: “I disagree, it is wrong not to turn up for training.

    “We all know he wants to go and can totally understand why. But Harry should not ruin his name or relationship with the supporters who idolise him just to get the move. Spurs will always be HIS club.”

  • Harry Kane warns Denmark: I’m feeling unstoppable

    Harry Kane warns Denmark: I’m feeling unstoppable

    England captain Harry Kane is warning Denmark that he is approaching his best form.

    The Tottenham striker started slowly at Euro 2020, failing to score in the group stages.

    He has three goals in two knockout stage matches, netting against Germany and twice against Ukraine.

    Now England take on the Danes at Wembley on Wednesday for a spot in Sunday’s showpiece final at the same venue.

    Asked about his form, Kane said: “To be honest, probably not. My game understanding, in terms of what I need to do to not just help myself but also the team, is probably at its best in my career so far.

    “It is not a problem. If you try to stop me that’s OK because we have got other players who are just as good, who are going to cause problems. It is not the case where you stop me and you stop us as a team. We have plenty of threats, plenty of options, plenty of different ways of playing.

    “From my point of view it is just assessing that on the pitch, seeing what formation they are playing and setting up and just trying to adapt my game to that. I feel like when I’m playing at my best I can score goals or provide assists against anyone.”

  • Harry Kane reveals Mourinho contact during Euro 2020

    Harry Kane reveals Mourinho contact during Euro 2020

    Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has revealed he has been in contact with Jose Mourinho during Euro 2020.

    Mourinho was sacked by Spurs in April, but Kane maintains a strong relationship with the Roma coach.

    “He’s great, he’s been texting me as well,” Kane told talkSPORT about Mourinho. “It’s common knowledge we have a great relationship and got on really well.

    “I really respect him as a manager and person. I wish him all the best at Roma. It’s great to have one of the best managers in the world on your side.

    “I will always respect him and hopefully be in contact with him for the rest of my career.”

  • Chelsea owner prefer 23-goal striker to Haaland

    Chelsea owner prefer 23-goal striker to Haaland

    Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is above Erling Haaland on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich’s transfer wish list, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

    The Blues want a new striker this summer, and the report suggests they are interested in two strikers in particular; Kane and Haaland.

    One is arguably the best striker in the Premier League and the other one is one of the most exciting goalscorers in Europe at the moment — neither of these two would be easy to sign or come cheap.

    Interestingly, Di Marzio claims that Abramovich considers bringing Haaland to Stamford Bridge would be more complicated than finding a transfer agreement with London rivals over their best player.

    This claim contradicts an earlier report from Tuttomercatoweb that claimed Halaand was of Abramovich’s priority target.

    But that report came in February, and at that point, Kane did not seem to be anywhere near being available in the transfer market.

    Di Marzio further added that Chelsea are ready to spend €70million (£60.4m) for the England international.

    Although, that is surprisingly a low budget for such an elite striker who won three Premier League Golden Boots in the last six seasons.

  • Man Utd ready to sell Martial to bid for Kane

    Man Utd ready to sell Martial to bid for Kane

    Premier League club Manchester United will consider offers for French forward Anthony Martial this summer.

    The Times says Tottenham striker Harry Kane is attracting interest from United this summer and the club could even sanction the sale of Martial to fund the England captain’s transfer.

    Martial has taken a step backwards this season after an encouraging campaign leading the line.

    And the Frenchman could be the ‘designated causality’ should United sign a star striker.

    Kane is the elite forward who could be available this summer and United could sell injury-hit Martial to fund a sensational transfer.

    Martial has also been mentioned as a makeweight in a swap for the England captain.

  • Barca approach Tottenham for Harry Kane

    Barca approach Tottenham for Harry Kane

    Barcelona have approached Tottenham about a price for Harry Kane.

    It’s emerged this week that Kane has informed Spurs he wishes to be sold this summer.

    A move within the Premier League has been mooted, with Manchester United and Manchester City both preparing big money offers.

    However, The Times says Barca could offer a continental route out of London to Kane after making an enquiry.

    The Catalans are serious about taking Kane to Spain this summer. However for the moment, England’s captain is favouring staying in the Premier League.

  • Mourinho’s experience will stay for rest of my career – Kane

    Mourinho’s experience will stay for rest of my career – Kane

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane says working with Jose Mourinho will stay with him for the rest of his career.

    The Portuguese was sacked by Spurs last week.

    Mourinho, who promised to take Kane “universal” during a meeting in the manager’s office shortly after his appointment in November 2019, allowed the England captain a free role and he has flourished when dropping deep.

    “He is a fantastic manager,” Kane told the London Evening Standard after last night’s London Football Awards, where he was named Premier League Player of the Year.

    “He has managed the biggest players at the biggest clubs in the world. He came in with a real understanding of what he wanted. We had good conversations early on and that continued. I have always liked to drop deep, but the biggest change was to ensure people were running in behind if I was dropping deep.

    “We just had a good relationship. I feel like my game has been evolving over the last three or four years anyway and it was just a good match-up. It was a shame that we could not go on and do better things or win any trophies, but I will take the experience I had with him for the rest of my career.”

    Harry Kane thanks Mourinho after Tottenham axe

    Harry Kane has thanked Jose Mourinho after he was sacked as manager of Tottenham on Monday.

    The Portuguese was shown the door after 17 months at the club, just days from the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

    Kane was the first Spurs player to release a statement following the news.

    He wrote on his Twitter account, accompanied by a photo of the pair: “Thank you for everything, Boss. A pleasure to have worked together.

    “I wish you all the best for your next chapter.”
