“I haven’t had to give the players a kiss and a cuddle to see how they are. Football moves on very fast,” he remarked dryly. So too, it seems, does the Spurs number 10 shirt. There were no notions of retiring it in honour to their talismanic former striker despite Kane being a resident at the club since the age of 11 and scorer of 280 goals across 435 appearances.
On the basis of this encouraging showing on his competitive debut, the smart summer acquisition from Leicester City will wear it with distinction. His first day at the office comprised two first-half goal assists and ended with him wearing the captain’s armband when Son Heung-Min was withdrawn. The left sided full-back cut in from the left and laid the ball across to Yoane Wissa whose shot deflected off the unlucky Micky van de Ven, one of Spurs’ three defensive debutantes. The Dutchman’s intervention served to wrong-foot another of the new faces – goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vacario – signed from Empoli to fill the rather large gloves of another departing stalwart, Hugo Lloris.
