- Mason shuts down claims he was saying goodbye
WHAT HAPPENED? Despite scoring one of his best goals of the season, Kane couldn’t help Tottenham fall to defeat against Brentford in their final home game of the campaign. The striker was seen taking in a lap of honour at the end of the game as rumours of his potential departure swirl, however his temporary boss Mason has rubbished claims it was a goodbye to the Spurs faithful.
WHAT THEY SAID: When asked if it was a goodbye, Mason responded: “No, he waves at the crowd every season.
“I remember sitting here two years ago, and you guys were convinced he was leaving, saying the same thing. It’s the last home game of the season so he wants to show his appreciation to the support he’s received, and we’ve all received this season.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: A host of European clubs are said to be monitoring Kane’s situation at Spurs, including Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United and the England international only has on year left remaining on his contract, meaning Daniel Levy could be forced into a sale in order to avoid losing Kane for free.
