"It's fair to say with Mauricio [Pochettino] they were going down that path. But at the same time, people were being too dismissive of Harry's influence throughout that period. He's an unbelievable player. If I had Harry, the first season we finished fifth, I'm convinced we would have finished in the Champions League spots. Even him leaving, you can't plug that hole. It's impossible."
"The England captain left Spurs having scored 280 goals in 435 appearances in all competitions, more than any other player to have pulled on the famous Tottenham shirt. Kane has since gone on to shine in the Bundesliga, netting 124 times in 130 appearances for Bayern, as well as lifting the first major trophy of his career last season. Indeed, since the 32-year-old left Tottenham, Son Heung-min, who is no longer at Spurs, has been the club's top scorer in that time with 28, 96 fewer than Kane has managed."
Ange Postecoglou took charge of Tottenham in June 2023 amid major squad changes, highlighted by Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich. Tottenham added Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski and finished fifth in the league during Postecoglou's tenure. Kane had scored 280 goals in 435 appearances for Spurs before moving and later scored prolifically for Bayern, winning his first major trophy. Tottenham endured a subsequent poor run, were winless in eight Premier League games, sacked Thomas Frank after a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, and sat 16th in the Premier League.
