‘Potentially significant’: Journalist shares what Harry Kane did straight after full-time today
Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane let the home fans know his feeling towards their support at full-time today.
The 30-year-old took part in a solitary lap of honor after the conclusion of the game, according to journalist Dan Kilpatrick, who posted about it on Twitter.
Given the rumors swirling about his future at the moment, it might be a moment of significance.
Bayern Munich has been showing a lot of interest in Harry Kane this summer.
The German champions believe they can entice him away from North London with just one year remaining on his present contract.
Since the rumors started, Kane had participated in just one preseason game at home.
Against Shakhtar Donetsk, he instantly made his presence felt by scoring four goals.
He leaving the field before the game’s conclusion would have pleased the Ukrainian team.
However, his replacement Dane Scarlett scored the final goal in their 5-1 win.
Kane showed his appreciation for the Tottenham fans at full-time and many stayed behind to return his applause.
They’ll be desperately hoping it wasn’t a goodbye, but it looked like a poignant moment.
Kane applauds Tottenham fans at full-time
Posting on Twitter, Kilpatrick said: “#thfc Kane going round the ground applauding fans on his own after FT. It was low key but felt potentially significant.”
Football.London journalist shared more photos of Kane on his Twitter and added: “Harry Kane does a little lap of the pitch applauding the Spurs fans.”
Kane is quite clearly alone and wasn’t taking part in something with the rest of the Tottenham team at full-time.
Understandably, he deserved special recognition at the end of the game.
Even if it was just a friendly, finding the back of the net four times is an impressive feat.
He teamed up brilliantly with new signing James Maddison, with his second goal coming after a phenomenal cross from the England international.
Kane will have a different role to play under Ange Postecoglou compared to the system used by Antonio Conte.
He’s likely to be asked to sit on the last man more often and he showed today that his poaching skills are still top-notch.
However, today’s appreciation of the Tottenham fans at full-time from Kane is an ominous sign.
It will be interesting to see if he’s involved at all against Barcelona on Tuesday, or in the side next weekend against Brentford.
