      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.

      “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.

      “There’s so much news around but he’s captain and  working with the team. He doesn’t show any distraction.
      “But I don’t know anything. Probably Harry doesn’t know. We just have to wait.”
      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.

      ‘Bitter’ Tottenham BAN reporter who left Postecoglou furious with Harry Kane stunt in press conference

      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.
      SunSport understands the Three Lions striker is open to a move to Bavaria.
      But he has also not ruled out either staying and running down his Spurs contract to leave on a free transfer next summer, or even signing a new deal. More

      That was ahead of Sunday’s friendly clash with Leicester at the same ground as part of Spurs’ Asia-Pacific pre-season tour.
      Kane, who turns 30 on Friday, is being courted by Bayern Munich.
      The German giants have had bids of around £60million and £70m turned down already, with suggestions they will come in with a fresh offer when Spurs return home.

      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

      PSG are determined to sell Mbappe this summer – and have left him out of their squad for their pre-season tour of Japan.
      News broke yesterday that Chelsea plus one unnamed Premier League club were set to enter the race to sign the forward, who has been heavily linked with Real Madrid.
      And according to Marca, Spurs and Manchester United are the other unnamed clubs willing to throw their hat in the ring for Mbappe’s signature.
      Marca report that PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Daniel Levy have a close working relationship and that Levy would leverage this to make a move.

      Given Spurs’ 8th placed finish last season and the fact that Saudi side Al-Hilal are willing to offer £173million for Mbappe, fans were left stunned by the news that the North London club would move for one of the best players in the world.
      One Spurs fan on Twitter said: “I’m interested in Margot Robbie.
      “My transfer has slightly more chance than Mbappe coming to Spurs.”
      Another joked: “Levy will offer £15m + Eric Dier and Oliver Skipp.”

      A third simply wrote: “You having a laugh?”
      While a fourth responded to tweets linking Spurs with Mbappe with a string of laughing emojis.
      Mbappe has entered the final year of his PSG contract and made it clear with the Parisian club that he has no intention of signing a new deal.
      PSG are unwilling to lose the forward for free and believe that doing so would force an exodus of stars as they would have to balance the books in Mbappe’s absence.
      The club want a swift sale and hope for a transfer to be sorted by July 31.
      Mbappe is reportedly willing to sit out the entirety of next season in order to make a move to Real Madrid happen next summer.
      It is looking increasingly likely that Spurs will be in the market for a striker this summer, with Harry Kane’s rumoured move to Bayern gathering pace.
      Kane’s wife, Kate, was reportedly in Munich this weekend looking at houses amid rumours that Kane had agreed personal terms with Bayern ahead of a move. More

      Fuming Postecoglou asks ‘you flew all the way for that?’ after journalist’s cheeky stunt at Tottenham press conference

      by

      ANGE POSTECOGLOU did not see the funny side after a German reporter held up a Bayern Munich shirt with Harry Kane on the back in his Tottenham press conference.The Spurs boss was speaking to the media ahead of his side’s friendly with Leicester on Sunday in Bangkok when the Bild journalist pulled off the stunt.

      The reporter who brought the Kane Bayern shirt to Postecoglou’s press conference was BILD’s Max Schrader. Postecoglou was angry when he saw the shirt and said: “What can I say about that? Nothing!” – Spurs press officer then wanted to intervene, but the coach continued [@BILD] pic.twitter.com/rrVWt505ch— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) July 22, 2023

      He lifted a new Bayern kit with the name ‘Kane’ and the No9 on the back and asked Postecoglou what he thought of it, cheekily adding: “It looks quite good, no?”
      Safe to say the Spurs boss was deeply unimpressed by the hack’s antics.
      Postecoglou, sporting a face like thunder, replied: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.
      “Did you get a good laugh for it? Got what you came to get? Maybe? Very good. You came a long way for that, thank you.”

      It comes after Bayern had two approaches, believed to be £60million and £70m, turned down for Spurs legend Kane.
      The German giants believe the England captain, who has a year remaining on his contract, wants to join them.
      Postecoglou then moved on to answer other questions but was clearly still annoyed and made a thinly-veiled dig back at the reporter in a reply about his ambitions at Spurs.
      The Australian, 57, said: “All I can do is just try to work hard like I have everywhere else. We’re in the early part of it. As I said, it’s a massive football club, a massive opportunity and a massive challenge here.

      “That’s what we’ll try to do, bring success to one of the biggest football clubs in the world, big enough to make up fake jumpers to be a presence.”
      Postecoglou said earlier this week that “it was fair to say I’m not relaxed about” the situation involving Kane and that it did no one any favours for the situation to drag on.
      The German reporter’s first question before his skit was whether the Spurs boss still felt that way, to which Postecoglou simply replied: “That was two days ago and nothing has changed.” More

      New Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario on his ‘angry’ nickname, his journey from Serie D and hosting Ukrainian refugees

      by

      IF Tottenham felt the venomous outbursts would end with Antonio Conte’s exit, they were wrong.Because new goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is known for having quite the temper himself.
      Guglielmo Vicario with team-mate Destiny Udogie as they take part in a kids’ training session with the Telethon Charity in Perth on Tottenham’s tour
      So much so that back in his homeland of Italy, he was dubbed ‘Venom’, after the furious comic superhero character played by Tom Hardy.
      Vicario, who joined Spurs from Serie A side Empoli for £16million last month, explained: “It was made by two guys from (broadcaster) DAZN in Italy.
      “They told me: ‘When you play on the pitch sometimes you get angry, you feel angry, so you feel like Venom’. Also Venom starts with V, Vicario starts with V.”
      Asked how his supposed anger manifests itself on the pitch, the 26-year-old elaborated: “I shout, maybe. My facial expression can change in some critical moments of the game.

      “I hope to do this not many times, because I think we have a big squad, so I trust in my lads.”
      Spurs fans had plenty to fume about last season as their side finished eighth, outside Europe, with Conte sealing an acrimonious exit in March.
      Everything seems calmer now the more diplomatic Ange Postecoglou is in charge.
      The Australian, 57, took the long road to the top, managing in his home country, Japan and Scotland before finally reaching the Premier League with Spurs.
      Most read in Football
      Vicario has travelled a similarly scenic route to England’s top flight, working his way up the divisions in Italy.
      Back in the 2014-15 campaign, when Harry Kane hit 21 Premier League goals to become the star of Mauricio Pochettino’s first season as Spurs boss, Vicario was on loan in Serie D with minnows Fontanafredda.
      The Udine-born stopper, whose childhood hero was Gianluigi Buffon, said: “Serie D to Tottenham is like a dream for me. I’m inside of my dream, I want to live my dream. 
      “(The manager and I) started from the bottom to reach the top and for us I think it’s a big success of courage. A big mentality. 
      “Coming up from the bottom is not so easy. It’s a big challenge with myself and himself and I think we have to be happy for our process.”
      Vicario, 26, spoke in flawless English as he took part in a kids’ coaching session while on Spurs’ pre-season tour to Perth, Australia.
      It is a far cry from the more local warm-up friendlies he experienced at the likes of Venezia, Cagliari, Perugia and Empoli.
      He added: “I need to adapt because Spurs is a big club. We have many, many fans so it’s different. It’s the first time in my life. 
      “When I was in Serie D it was impossible to see it like this.”
      Vicario, who has been called up to Italy in recent months but is yet to receive a cap, may show his wrathful side on the pitch.
      But off it there is evidence of his kind-hearted nature by the fact that he and his family have taken in a Ukrainian refugee mother and child who have fled their war-torn homeland.
      Vicario has struck up a particularly close relationship with the 11-year-old son, named Milan.
      The stopper added: “He is my little brother.
      “When I come back to Udine to see my family, I spend some time with him. He is good. He is going to school, he learns Italian. 
      “I hope he feels good because in Ukraine now the situation is not so good with the war. 
      “So we try to give a smile to these people and I hope they don’t [have to] think to the situation of their country.

      “When I go to the pitch, thinking about them is important. It’s like a strength it can give.”
      Vicario was speaking at a Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Development session with beneficiaries from Telethon, one of the largest charities in WA that raises funds to deliver programmes for sick, vulnerable, and disadvantaged children. The participants were also invited to the team’s open training session in Perth from which all proceeds will be donated to Telethon. More
