Ange Postecoglou insists he gained’t let Harry Kane’s switch saga distract him from the job of rebuilding Tottenham. The England captain is because of return to pre-season coaching on Wednesday and could have early conferences with Daniel Levy and his new supervisor.

All the whereas, Bayern Munich are persevering with to make very public overtures into signing a participant getting into the ultimate yr of his contract. “It’s something I have no control over,” he stated.

“What I will deal with is, is it affecting the group? Is it affecting Harry? That’s the only time it will maybe register. It won’t affect me and I doubt somebody like Harry would let it affect him in any sort of way because this football club means too much to him and he wouldn’t let it infiltrate the dressing room.

“Harry Kane is one of the premier strikers in the world and I want him involved here. I want to make this club successful and there's no doubt that's what he wants. I doubt our conversation’s going to be defining in the way people think it will be. I just want to introduce myself to Harry, give him my vision for the football club and then go on the training pitch and make it happen.”

Certainly the considered Kane colluding with Munich over a transfer is the very last thing on Postecoglou’s thoughts. “For me it’s, in my head right now that Harry’s on holiday, he’s on a sunbed and playing with his family and having a great time - that’s the picture I’ve got,” he stated.

“Now, if other things are going on I’m not going to think about it and the reason I don’t is because he’ll be here in two days' time and everything I need to know will be sitting right in front of me. Nothing’s landed on my desk at this moment from anybody at the club to say there’s a decision to be made.”

Postecoglou guarantees attacking soccer - “an aggressive team, a dominant team, a team who takes the game to every opposition home and away.” And he's conscious of the dimensions of the problem. He added: “I want to bring success to this football club and I want to bring European football to this football club. To bring it back to where it has to be.

“The biggest thing is that there is an enormous challenge here and I love it. For me, all my career I have always taken over sides which have needed a rebuild and that is the challenge. To create something that hopefully lasts beyond my tenure because I won't be here forever.

“What does success look like? The fans will tell me that.” The key ingredient wanted within the Tottenham dressing room proper now's optimistic vitality and the 57-year-old brings an abundance of that. He is affable, eloquent and appears to need to be all people’s mate - supplied they continue to be on board.

The first tranche of gamers have already returned for pre-season and the message thus far has been a easy one. The supervisor added: “Just to be open-minded and to realise I’m different to the other managers and I’ll do things my way. The quicker we jump on the train the quicker we will get there and again allowing people to be themselves.

“When there is resistance it just slows down the whole process but what I will make clear is that we won’t change the process. But it won’t change me.”
