On Monday, Harry Kane did not show up at Tottenham training after a three-week holiday after the European Championship final. This was repeated on Tuesday, according to several English media.
On Tuesday, renowned journalists like Fabrizio Romano reported that Kane plans to return to training later this week. The situation is still the same: Kane wants to go away and will discuss the future with the club. Manchester City seems to be the most likely destination.
– Expect to talk to him soon
Before Wednesday, neither party had commented on the situation, but after Tottenham played 2-2 against Chelsea in a training match on Wednesday, the inevitable question came.
– I expect to talk to Harry soon. I have not had the opportunity yet. We must first solve our problems ourselves, then I will talk to you, he told the press after the match, according to Sky Sports.
– It is not that I do not want to comment on it, but what I think is that this should be discussed internally, among us. Let’s try to avoid a public war of words or discussion about it. We focus on what is important, to resolve the situation between us, the new Spurs manager continues.
Thrilling when the semifinals were decided
– Depressing
Sky Sports writes that Spurs plans to fine Kane for the absence, and that the club has no intention of selling its big star. Kane himself will believe that the absence is justified, because he believes he has an agreement with Spurs to be allowed to leave the club this summer. TV 2 expert Erik Thorstvedt is ruthless in his Kane verdict.
– First and foremost, this is a depressing thing that happens every summer. We see it again and again. They claim that he has a “gentleman’s agreement”, but that is just nonsense. A contract is a contract, says TV 2’s football expert.
Thorstvedt also believes that several supporters put their coffee down their throats when the news became known.
– The employer has no chance when players run their own races. I think there are quite a few supporters who understand that he wants to win a trophy, but when you then refuse to come to training, I think more of the sympathy is directed towards the club. He has had a great “standing”, but then this happens. I think some fans are disillusioned with what they thought Kane stood for, says Thorstvedt who has grown tired of strike action in top football:
– This is the worst thing I know about football when such a play takes place. But that is probably the only way to force through a transfer, because it ends up that the club gets a player who strikes and makes himself difficult. They will think that it spreads a bad mood and that he will eventually play much worse. Thus, they feel compelled to sell.
