I mean, this could have been done a couple of months ago, a month ago, to give him the best opportunity.

“It does not actually really feel that whoever’s making these selections – Daniel Levy – is considering what’s finest for the crew. A brand new supervisor within the door, you wish to give him all the pieces at his disposal to be sure that he is bought an awesome probability of pushing, making an attempt to get again into that prime 4.

“Yes, you might have got a little bit more money out of the deal, but that doesn’t necessarily make it right for the team.

He’s somebody they’re evaluating to Robert Lewandowski; somebody they suppose could make the identical kind of influence Lewandowski did.

“Harry Kane had a long old day yesterday. He was waiting at the airport early in the morning, had to hold back and then eventually travelled and landed here in the evening. He went straight to a local hospital, had the first part of his medical, then went to the Bayern training ground, which is where we caught up with him and saw him waving at about 12.45am this morning.

“That was an indication that issues had progressed, the medical was full. It was shortly after that he signed the contract and he was a Bayern Munich participant. He did the media stuff this morning, together with an announcement video from the German champions.

“I think we’re going to see Kane in action for Bayern Munich tonight. He has the chance to win a trophy on day one of his new job. He signed the contract at about 2am, his debut could come less than 24 hours after that. The last couple of days have probably been quite draining for all involved in the negotiations, but Kane has tried to keep himself ticking over and alert.

“We know he has been coaching as regular with Tottenham and is in good bodily form – he is the final word professional – so there aren’t any issues about throwing him in and he’ll put on the No 9 shirt.

“On the opposite hand, it reveals that we’re aggressive with the others. We can have a crew that, in each competitors that we play, has the prospect, the chance, to win that competitors. Therefore, I believe it’s a good signing. A participant like Harry Kane will, for positive, assist us, together with the opposite gamers.

“So, everyone is now looking forward to when he is allowed to play.

“I believe he’s a prime participant. He scored probably the most objectives on the 2018 World Cup and is yearly a prime scorer in England so there isn’t any dialogue about him as a soccer participant.”

Merse: Spurs are bottom half without Kane

Sky Sports’ Paul Merson:

“Yes he’s 30 years of age but I don’t really pay attention to any of that. The way he plays, I think he can play until 35, 36 easily. He doesn’t rely on pace, his brain is as good as anybody’s.

“I’m nonetheless shocked right here and I do not know why Manchester United did not purchase him. If that they had, they might have gotten 4 or 5 years out of him and they might have received the Premier League.

“Will this Tottenham team get in the top four next season? I’d be shocked. So it’s not like you’re keeping him and definitely getting in the top four, so whatever we lose by selling him, you’re making it back in the Champions League. That isn’t going to be the case.

“Kane scored 30 objectives final season and Spurs completed nowhere close to. You really feel sorry for Ange Postecoglou however you are speaking a couple of crew who would possibly get within the prime 4 if he stays, to a crew who does not get within the prime half if he leaves. They will not even get within the prime half! They’re 100 per cent a bottom-half crew if he leaves.

“Who is going to get the goals? They finished eighth last season. I like James Maddison, he’s a good player, but Leicester got relegated.”
