Pochettino warns Spurs fans: Kane selected on my terms

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he will only play Harry Kane on his terms.

Pochettino said striker Kane is a "special player" in the eyes of supporters because he is English and came through the club's academy.

"I understand the fans want him to play because he is English," said Pochettino, "But my decision is always about my analysis on the training and afterwards to give the balance to the team and our performance.

"If we were in Argentina and he was Argentinian player and playing with two foreign strikers, it would always be a sensitive situation.

"He is English, he is young and from the Tottenham academy so it is expected (that fans want to see him play)."
