      Fans in stitches at Harry Kane’s reaction to Spurs winning a trophy as they joke ‘he’ll always have the 2023 Tiger Cup’

      Richarlison showed his goalscoring ability as he netted a hat-trick while Kane and Giovani Lo Celso also netted.
      As a result of the victory, it saw Tottenham lift the Tiger Cup trophy but as with most trophy lifts during pre-season, the celebrations were underwhelming.
      Only Richarlison and Emerson Royal handled the trophy while Kane was the first player to make his way down the tunnel.
      And fans on social media could not help themselves but poke fun at Kane.

      One tweeted: “Kane just walked off immediately ☠️.”
      A second commented: “How nice for Harry Kane to be leaving Spurs on a high note after finally winning a trophy. He’ll always have the 2023 Tiger Cup.”
      A third wrote: “Harry Kane is the only striker to win Tiger Cup and Audi Cup 🔥 put some respect to his name.”
      A fourth said: “Harry Kane still can’t get his hands on a trophy at Spurs.”

      While a fifth joked: “Kane is never leaving look at that smile.”
      Another added: “Watched it mate, Kane didn’t want to pick up the trophy 😂.”
      Kane has been hotly tipped with an exit from Tottenham this summer with Manchester United, PSG and Bayern Munich all in the running for his signature.
      However, it is the Bundesliga giants that are favourites to sign him at the moment.
      Bayern have already seen two bids rejected for Kane, but remain confident of getting a deal done this summer.
      If they fail to get a deal over the line, then Kane may see out the season with Spurs and have his pick of clubs next summer once his contract in North London expires. More

      Tottenham 5 Lion City Sailors 1: Richarlison the hat-trick hero as Spurs survive early scare to breeze past minnows

      by

      HARRY KANE sparked the turnaround as Spurs survived an early scare to comfortably beat a local understudy team here in Singapore.Spurs were supposed to be playing Jose Mourinho’s Roma in the former British colony to finish off their Asia-Pacific tour.

      But after the Italians pulled out due to issues with the promoters, Lion City Sailors replaced them.
      And the Singapore side took a shock lead when Shawal Anuar got in front of Pedro Porro and deflected the ball past Guglielmo Vicario on 14 minutes.
      Going a goal behind to the equivalent of a non-league side summed up this chaotic trip, which saw Sunday’s friendly against Leicester in Bangkok rained off.
      But Ange Postecoglou’s side did eventually make their dominance pay as Kane struck home Spurs’ 24th shot of the first half via the penalty spot after Pape Matar Sarr had been tripped.

      It came in stoppage time just before the break – and just after the interval Spurs went ahead.
      Richarlison, on for Kane as Postecoglou changed the whole team at half-time, fired home a rebound after Ivan Perisic’s shot was blocked.
      The Brazilian then made it 3-1 with his second minutes later after capitalising on a weak defensive clearance by heading past the Sailors’ helpless goalkeeper.
      Richarlison famously netted one Premier League goal last term following his £60million switch from Everton but did have a number ruled offside.

      The flag went up on him twice more here after finding the net as Spurs looked to punish their hosts for having the temerity to take an early lead.
      Three became four on 73 minutes as Manor Solomon’s cutback was deflected into the path of Giovani Lo Celso who could not miss.
      Richarlison then added Spurs’ fifth to complete his hat-trick in the 91st minute after being played through by compatriot Emerson Royal.
      The Brazilian’s three goals will give both him and Spurs some much needed confidence in the event that he is the man to replace Kane should the Spurs’ talisman leave this summer.
      One downer was that Yves Bissouma looked in some discomfort after taking part in warm-down runs at half-time, having played the first 45, and received treatment before gingerly walking off.
      Postecoglou sees the Malian as a key player this term so will hope it is nothing serious. More

      Harry Kane told signing new Tottenham deal this summer would be WORST thing he could do in shock advice from club legend

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Tottenham legend Teddy Sheringham has urged Harry Kane not to sign a new deal with Spurs.Kane has one more year left in his contract with the North Londoners and seems uninterested in penning fresh terms as he is instead keen on moving to Bayern Munich.

      Sheringham agrees with that decision as he insists an extension would be the “worst thing” the England captain could do this summer as that may prolong his trophyless streak.
      The former centre-forward claims the 29-year-old, who turns 30 on Friday, is in a “very similar” place he was in 1997 and hinted he should follow in his footsteps that led to United and a Treble triumph.
      However, the 57-year-old urged the Tottenham and England record goalscorer to avoid Bayern, who pose as his likeliest destination if he leaves Ange Postecoglou’s side.
      The ex-England international claims Kane would be a better fit at Real Madrid as the Bundesliga works best for rising English stars rather than those in their prime.

      Sheringham told Lord Ping: “I really don’t know what is going to happen with Harry Kane this summer.
      “I assumed that he would stay and see out his contract, but the reports coming out of the club over the weekend have indicated that if he won’t sign a new deal, he will be sold.
      “Let’s assume that he stays. There is a chance that Ange Postecoglou could come into the club and excel. If that were to happen and he could convince Kane that his future is at the club, then you wouldn’t be surprised if he signed a new deal at the end of the season.
      “I think the worst thing that Harry Kane could do would be to sign a new contract this summer. He could be in a situation where things don’t go to plan with Ange and then he’s in a cycle where he has to wait for a new manager to come in.
      Most read in Football
      “If he goes into the season without a new deal, he can watch how everything unfolds. Harry Kane will still be completely focussed on scoring goals for Tottenham and doing his best for the club.
      “The dream scenario would be for him to perform well next season and be convinced that his future remains at the club.
      “Harry is in a very similar situation to where I was with the club. He will want the best players playing alongside him and he will want to be playing against the best players in the Champions League, obviously that isn’t happening at Tottenham this season.
      “I really hope that he stays, but I don’t expect him to make the decision anytime soon.

      “I wouldn’t go to Bayern if I was Harry Kane. I don’t see the German league as that much of an attractive proposition for where Kane is at his age.
      “I can understand younger players going over there – we’ve seen players like [Jadon] Sancho and [Jude] Bellingham go there with a clear development plan, but Kane is in a different stage of his career.
      “What will Kane get out of joining Bayern? He’ll probably win a title – he’ll have Champions League football. I don’t think that is the move that I would be looking for in my prime.
      “I can see the appeal of Real Madrid. If he had the opportunity to go there, with the sexiness of playing for the biggest team in Spain, a team always amongst the Champions League favourites etc. That has much more appeal than Bayern.” More

      Tuchel and his squad have flown to Tokyo and will play Manchester City at the Japan National Stadium on Wednesday.
      But he said some have not travelled to work on new signings for the season ahead.
      He said: “They are doing something it is necessary to do in Europe to support us.”
      Tuchel – who is also interested in a move for City’s Kyle Walker – says he will only be thinking about the players he has with him in the Far East.

      He added: “The focus is very clear. We focus on the team.
      “We focus on the players that are contracted to Bayern Munich and they deserve our full support, our full attention, and appreciation.
      “That is what we give them. We push everyone as a team to the limit and then we see what is going to happen.
      “We are not the first football team that has changes in the transfer period, we will not be the last.

      “The transfer period will go on for another five or six weeks. This is just the situation that we live.
      “To be very honest, we do not break our heads too often about it. We have enough to push this team as it is.
      “This is why we are here, we want to push our limits, we want to improve and if changes happen, they happen.”
      Tuchel was also asked about Bayern’s decision not to sign City defender Joao Cancelo after he spent the last part of the season on loan with them.
      The Germans had a £60million option to make the move permanent but passed it up – with the coach suggesting he will spend the money elsewhere.
      He said: “It was never football reasons (behind his return). He is a fantastic football player.
      “It was just that we Alphonso Davies back, full strength from injury and we decided to sign Rapha Guerrero as a free agent.
      “So it was a matter of position and a matter of finance. He helped us a lot in the half a year he played for us. He is a fantastic guy and a fantastic footballer. That is why.”

      Man Utd in huge Harry Kane transfer boost as Spurs owner tells Levy he MUST sell star if massive new deal is rejected

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been told they would have to pay Harry Kane a whopping £30million a year to sign him.The £577,000-a-week salary would make Tottenham’s England captain by far the highest-paid player in the Premier League and smash the Red Devils’ wage structure.

      United’s current top earner is Marcus Rashford, who earns £325,000 a week after signing a new deal.
      Tottenham have offered Kane, 30, on Friday, a new £400,000-a-week contract, which the striker has not signed.
      German champs Bayern Munich are also in the race to land him but have had  two offers of £60m and £70m turned down.
      United began the summer with Kane their No 1 target.

      And they were recently boosted to hear Spurs owner Joe Lewis does not want to let their 280-goal all-time top scorer run his deal down and leave on a free in a year.
      But Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag is keen to avoid one player earning considerably more than anyone else.
      As it is, United need to generate any transfer fee from sales, due to Financial Fair Play restrictions after buying Mason Mount and Andre Onana for a total initial outlay of £98.8m.
      Bayern are expected to make another Kane offer, while reports claim Saudis Al-Hilal are preparing a bid.

      Spurs team-mate Son Heung-min, 31, said: “Harry is always professional.

      Kane is also set to sign a new boot deal after his Nike contract was understood to have expired — he wore blacked-out boots as Spurs trained on Saturday in front of 6,000 fans in Bangkok.

      Bayern Munich have put pressure on Tottenham with two bids for their talisman, with a third set to be submitted.
      And one German reporter could not help but poke fun at the situation with a clever joke.
      During Postecoglou’s press conference ahead of the friendly against Leicester, the reporter unveiled a Bayern Munich shirt with “Harry Kane 9” emblazoned across the back.
      He said to the Spurs boss: “What does that look like? It looks quite good, no?”

      Postecoglou reacted angrily, saying: “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Did you get a good laugh? Very good. You came a long way for that.”
      Tottenham have now banned the reporter from future press conferences after withdrawing his accreditation for the Leicester match.
      Some fans think the club has overreacted to a bit of harmless fun, with one suggesting they are “bitter”.
      The Kane saga appears to be having a negative effect on Postecoglou who admitted he is “not relaxed” about the situation.

      It has been a difficult few days for the Aussie with Roma pulling out of a pre-season friendly before the Leicester game was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.
      Kane’s wife Katie Goodland is also reported to have spent the last few days in Munich looking for a new house.
      Bayern are confident Kane wants to join them, with their director Uli Hoeness publicly confirming that belief.

      New Spurs’ boss Ange Postecoglou has had the last ten days to work with Kane.
      Historically the ex-Celtic boss has favoured a centre-forward who naturally favours relentless pressing than Kane does.
      Yet when asked if the club’s greatest goalscorer would need to adapt to his methods, Postecoglou replied: “No not really. I’ve had all sorts of strikers. 
      “I think what I look for in those type of positions is someone being laser-focused on scoring goals and part of that is if you work hard on keeping the ball close to the opposition goal then that’s going to help you.
      “All the strikers I’ve had have bought into that because they know they’re going to get more opportunities.
      “There are very little gaps in Harry’s game. His ability on and off the ball are more than enough for us.”
      Kane’s England colleague James Maddison completed a £40million switch to Spurs in June and is hopeful the striker will stay.
      Maddison, 26, added: “I’m not going to go into details on Harry’s situation. People speak about that enough and it’s out of my hands, really.
      “But from my point of view I would love to be able to play with him, he’s a world-class centre-forward, the best No9 in the world, a brilliant role model and an uber professional guy. “Whatever happens, happens.” More
