‘Harry is our player. Period’: Nuno Espirito Santo tells Man City and Chelsea Kane is NOT for sale

Nuno Espirito Santo has dismissed claims that Harry Kane could leave Tottenham this summer. 

The former Wolves boss says there is ‘no need’ to discuss the transfer speculation surrounding the Tottenham striker – despite growing interest from Manchester City and Chelsea. 

Nuno refers to the England international as ‘our player’ and says the club will ‘count’ on him for the 2021-2022 season. 

Speaking at his first press conference as the new Tottenham boss, Nuno said: ‘Harry is our player. Period.

‘There is no need to talk about anything else. Now is the time for him to recover his energy. When he comes again we will have time to have a good conversation.

‘Now he must prepare for what is coming, I am looking forward to him joining the group. 

‘I’m excited to work with all the players. It is best to work with the best players around and Harry is one of those.’ 

Nuno believes Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and is excited to work with him

Nuno also added that he is ‘excited to work with the Tottenham players’ this season

Despite Nuno’s comments, Kane has previously expressed his desire to leave Tottenham this summer. 

Kane, who scored four goals to help England reach the final of Euro 2020, is on the hunt for silverware and believes that could require him to leave the North London club.

Nevertheless, Nuno and the club’s new sporting director Fabio Paratici understand the importance of keeping Kane at the club. 

Nuno added: ‘Harry Kane is one of the best players in the world, that says it all.

‘What I wish is for Harry to recover well and when he arrives he will feel that every one of us has to commit ourselves to become better.

‘We are ambitious people, we want to do well and we count on Harry.’
