Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has spoken about the future of Harry Kane at today's presser.
The Australian gave a press conference to introduce himself as the new Spurs head coach.
Among the topics, Postecoglou was asked if he must try to hold onto the England captain.
He responded: “Question three was Harry, was it? We were running a pool with the coaches, I think Mile Jedinak won actually. I had over six because I thought you'd care more about me. In terms of the squad, think it's fair to say the reason I'm here is because the club is seeking change.
“A change of direction, a change in the way we do things and that usually means a change in personnel: players and staff. In that context, my role right at the minute is to deal with what's in front of me, the certainties that I have, [while] knowing that are going to be many uncertainties and trying to tick off one by one the path forward for us and [determine] what our squad is going to look like. It may take a little while before we have clarity on that. But within that I can't wait for that moment to start working. We've started working already."
He added on his talks with Kane: “I don't think it's my role to sit down and treat people in a manner because of their circumstances. I'm really big on treating everyone the same, and Harry has already entrenched himself in the history of this football club. He's a very important part. He's one of the premier strikers in the world and I want him involved. My conversation with him will be about how we can make this club successful. And I've got no doubts that what he wants as well.
“So within that context, whatever that narrows into the personal stuff around Harry as an individual. If the conversation takes it that way then we'll take it that way. But I doubt it's going to be defined in the manner that people think it's going to be. It's not going to be a conversation where we walk out of the room and have an understanding. I don't want that kind of conversation, what I want is to introduce myself to Harry and give him my vision of the football club. And get a sense from him on what he thinks the club needs to do to be successful and walk out on that training pitch and try and make it happen."
