Tottenham boss Postecoglou: I am not expecting Richarlison to replace Kane

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says it's unfair comparing Richarlison with former teammate Harry Kane.

Many see Richarlison as the player to succeed Kane after his departure for Bayern Munich.

But his manager insists: “All I can look at is behaviours and the way he's training and playing.

"I don't know that there's that much of a burden there to carry. Ultimately, this football club needed to change. I think everyone at the club's got to grips that Harry is gone. He's gone off to a new challenge and I'm sure he'll do very well over there. We've got our own challenge now.

“I don't think there's any use in comparing yourself to something that's no longer here and is no longer relevant. It would be different if it was on the back of a successful era."
