Tottenham showed that life might not be too bad if Harry Kane does leave ?as they put in a rousing display to beat Manchester City 1-0.
The future of Kane has been the major talking point of the summer as he is keen to move on this summer, with City his preferred destination, and his late return to training meant that he was not included in the matchday squad.
Kane was in the stadium to watch the game and he will have been left in no doubt how the fans feel about the situation following a loud rendition of: “Are you watching Harry Kane?” While Kane was late in reporting back for pre-season training, his partner in crime Heung-min Son was signing a new contract and endeared himself to the fans even further by scoring a 55th-minute winner.
The South Korean loves playing against City and it was the seventh time he has scored against them and the fourth in four games in north London.
It was a dream start for new boss Nuno Santo Espirito, who has not been dealt the easiest hand given his appointment, and the manner of the performance suggested that Spurs can challenge for the top spot.
City’s defence of their Premier League title began with a defeat, but with this game out of the way now they may up their ante in their chase of Kane, which has so far not progressed past an opening bid of £100million.
