Postecoglou provides update on Tottenham duo’s future, sends warning ahead of Women’s World Cup
Ange Postecoglou has addressed media in Perth ahead of Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against West Ham, providing updates on the playing future of Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris in a wide-ranging interview.
Kane’s future was the first topic of discussion for Postecoglou, with Bayern Munich having already shown strong interest in signing the 29-year-old.
In fact, honorary president Uli Hoeness told SPORT1 earlier in the week that Kane has “very clearly signalled his decision” to leave Tottenham for the German champions.
For now it is just noise, with no confirmation of any such move as Postecoglou telling reporters on Monday that “no one” has spoken to him from Munich.

“As I said before, nothing earth-shattering or defining from I guess what people are seeking.
Just a good chat. I sort of introduced myself and we spoke mainly about the club and kind of where he thinks it’s at and where he thinks we can improve things and training ever since, it’s been good.”
When pressed on the vision for the club’s future that he may try to sell to Kane, Postecoglou insisted his focus since arriving at Tottenham has never been about just one player — no matter how big the name.
“It’s not a specific vision for one person, it’s about the group,” the Australian said.
“Me and Harry were perfectly aligned in that, we want to see a successful team this year.
“For me it’s about really focusing on everybody and making sure that we set the environment in the right way. The players have been brilliant so far, really receptive and open-minded about what we’re trying to do. Coaches have been brilliant in delivering that message.
