I am not putting pressure on Harry Kane – Tottenham boss

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou says there is no need to put pressure on Harry Kane despite the uncertainty around the player’s future.

The England international is largely expected to leave the London club this summer as his contract nears an end and Bayern Munich are keen on his signature.

Manchester United are also another club who are also said to be monitoring the player’s situation.

Tottenham has already turned down two proposals from the German Bundesliga club for the prolific goalscorer, but it’s only a matter of time until a final decision is made.

Kane has a year left on his contract at Tottenham and may go for free if he stays and decides not to renew, which Tottenham is hoping to avoid.

The Tottenham boss wants Kane’s future assessed as soon as possible.

“For everyone concerned, we don’t want to be doing it for too long. I don’t think that’s good for anyone,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s good for Harry, I don’t think it’s good for the club, because as laser-focused as we want to be, you end up sort of repeating yourself along the way. But the flip side of that is I don’t want to put a deadline on it, because that adds even more pressure.

“You want these things to happen for the right reasons. The reality of it is he’s still a contracted player at our football club, so that’s the way I see him. It’s not like his contract is ending on the 12th [of August] and he’s got to make a decision, he’s got another year.

“So from that part, I am not relaxed but I am not putting pressure on him or anyone else at the football club, saying ‘well we need to do this’. But I don’t think deep down any of us want it to go on for too long.”
