Kane already made up his mind before I arrived – Postecoglou

Tottenham boss Ante Postecoglou has said England striker Harry Kane had already “made up his mind” by the time the Australian took the manager role in June.

The ex-Australia national team manager said this regarding the player’s move to Bayern Munich during a press conference on Friday.

“I don’t have a blow by blow account but my understanding is that it’s progressed to a point where it’s going to happen and a deal is imminent” Postecoglou said.

“That at least gives us some clarity, unless something unforeseen happens – we move forward without Harry.”

Postecoglou also stated that Kane had wanted a deal done before the start of the Premier League season. He added that plans were in place for his departure.

“I had a conversation with Harry the first day he arrived and he was up front and honest. I was the same,” Postecoglou said.

“In my mind, after that initial conversation, it seemed like Harry had made up his mind that if the clubs could agree, he was going to go. If not, he was happy to stay.

“He was very professional about it and I tried to treat him with respect that someone of his standing deserved.”

Postecoglou added that Kane will always be one of Spurs’ “greats” and that his move will not change that.
