Kane looking for more of the same
The paper goes on to say that it was rejected by Tottenham, who are keen to hang onto the England worldwide after his 31 goals last term.
The 22-year-old earned England recognition, scoring on his debut against Lithuania, and aims to prove he was no one-season wonder.
“I think it will be really tight this year, I am not sitting on the fence, there are six teams that will push for those Champions League spots, it will be very tight”.
Pochettino instilled a certain belief in the players during his first 12 months in charge and a fifth place Premier League finish in 2014/15 after numerous inconsistent displays seems only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of top teams in the Premier League, I think the top seven or eight teams can all fight for Champions League spots.
Pochettino said: “Kane is excited to start the season with us”. For a young team that is a great experience. “We try to build a very strong and tough group for the next few years to try and achieve important things”.
“We have a very ambitious player now, the younger ones in the group, like Harry Kane“.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino believes Harry Kane has the potential to become one of the best strikers in the world.
“Any doubts about his commitment are gone, he is delighted to stay”, Pochettino said as quoted by The Times.
Harry can manage this pressure.
“He is delighted to stay”. He is young but he is very mature.
Spurs have also signed a deal with the NFL to host at least two matches per season at the new stadium and being a huge NFL fan – Kane named his dogs Tom and Russell after quarterbacks Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks – the striker can’t wait. If I was manager I wouldn’t be happy with that. Two games in the week before you play on the Saturday, it’s far from ideal, definitely not the best preparation. “We need to keep this mentality”.
United were strongly linked with Spurs hot shot Kane about a month ago, with Louis van Gaal known to be chasing a world class striker.
