It’s the next excitement in the Kane saga.
The preparation is in full swing at his club Tottenham – striker superstar Harry Kane (28) should have joined on Monday. But he stayed away from training. Because he prefers to vacation in the USA?
As reported by several English media, the England superstar did not return to London directly from his vacation in the Bahamas. Instead, he made a stopover in the United States (Florida) with his family. On Wednesday they were apparently still there, according to a report.
On his return to the island, he has to be in corona isolation for ten days (free testing only after five days).
The new Tottenham coach Nuno Espirito Santo (47) did not want to make a clear statement after the friendly against Chelsea on Wednesday (2-2) …
Kane made it clear at the end of last season that he no longer wanted to play for Spurs in the 2021/2022 season. Manchester City and coach Pep Guardiola in particular are said to be interested in the services of the top scorer.
However, club boss Daniel Levy is calling for € 175 million (£ 150 million) for Kane and does not want to move away from it. That could be too much money even for City.
Coach Santo tried to downplay the Kane issue after the Test against Chelsea (2-2): “It’s not that I don’t want to comment. I think we should discuss this whole Harry matter internally to avoid any kind of public argument and discussion. We have to solve the problem, but first among ourselves. “
He hopes to have a clarifying conversation with Kane soon. “I expect to be able to speak to Harry soon, but haven’t had a chance yet.”
Harry Kane comes from the Spurs youth. He has been loaned out four times and has been a hugely important player at Tottenham since 2013. In 336 competitive games he scored 221 goals (47 assists) for the club.
The striker now insists that he has a “gentleman agreement” to leave Spurs. Club boss Levy doesn’t want to know anything about that.
With his extended vacation and the significantly late arrival, Kane apparently wants to create transfer pressure.
So far, Tottenham has remained tough – but if Kane does not appear in training at the beginning of next week at the latest, the Premier League club has a big problem.
Kane will probably miss the first game of the season (August 15) – against Manchester City of all places – because of his lack of training …
