Dejan Kulusevski has confessed that he and his Tottenham colleagues expected Harry Kane to stay and that the attacking players must provide more goals to compensate for the striker’s departure.
Nevertheless, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur did reach an agreement for the England captain immediately before the start of the new season, with some sources (like Football.London’s Alasdair Gold) stating that the sum may grow to as much as £120 million if certain add-ons are reached.
Despite much concern about where the goals would come from after the 30-year-old’s departure, Tottenham have had no trouble finding the back of the net thus far, scoring 11 goals in their first four league games.
Kulusevski expected Kane to stay at Spurs.
Kulusevski admitted that the club’s attacking players would have to up their game and contribute goals during the season.
Spurs Web Opinion
There was a section of Spurs fans on social media who were suggesting that we would have been in a relegation battle without Kane’s goals last season, which is an utterly ridiculous way to look at football. Without Kane, others such as Son and Kulusevski would have undoubtedly chipped in with more goals.
In fact, it can be argued that some of Tottenham’s attacking players were playing a little within themselves and looking for Kane to bail them out on every occasion, which contributed to their struggles last season. With the striker now having gone, they are now evidently taking up more responsibility to make a difference in the final third.
