Postecoglou clarified that the discussion with Kane was not a groundbreaking revelation, but rather an introduction and a discussion about the club's status and areas for improvement. Despite Bayern Munich's reported attempts to secure Kane's services with significant financial offers, Tottenham has consistently rejected these bids.
“I had a good chat with Harry. It was nothing earth-shattering as people are seeking. Just a good chat, introduced myself, and we spoke mainly about the club, where it's at and where he thinks can improve,” Postecoglou said.
“It's not a specific vision for one person, it's about the group and we're perfectly aligned on that - we want to see a successful team this year. There are a lot of people who know Harry better than me, but he's not going to get phased by anything. He's here and while he's here, he's totally committed to what we're doing, and that's the way I've seen things,” Postecoglou added.
“It's about working hard as a group as we go along, some will be on for the whole journey, others won't, but a lot of that gets decided along the way. It's not something I'm demanding from people right at the outset. We've got nearly a month until the season starts, the transfer window's still open, so we'll see what transpires,” Postecoglou said.
Harry Kane, the England captain and second-highest scorer in Premier League history with an impressive 213 goals for Spurs, remains a crucial asset to the team. Postecoglou highlighted the importance of collective effort in their preparations for the upcoming season, acknowledging that the squad's composition may evolve before the transfer window closes.
