There’s something about Harry Kane that somehow causes some people to underestimate him. In truth, it’s probably a combination of his unassuming demeanour and the length of time he’s spent at Spurs. Familiarity we are told, does, after all, breed contempt. The “he’s one of our own” chant only serves to reinforce the sense of comfort that permanence offers.
Spurs fans may wish to brace themselves for a swift lesson in the difference between a ‘first love’ and ‘true love’.
The reality is that most (if not all) players want wealth and honours. Kane’s golden boots will not immortalize his career, and at Spurs, they are looking like the closest things he’ll ever get to an actual trophy.
There’s no way of spinning the interview with Redknapp Jnr that leaves cause for reassurance. Indeed, a wholly objective mind might go as far suggesting Harry just gave everyone concerned fair warning.
