What Harry Kane told Dominic Solanke in dressing room during Tottenham return as England captain offers verdict on Spurs' new £55m striker

Spurs played Bayern Munich in a pre-season friendly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and after the game, it was a meeting between the past and future. Bayern's Kane met with Solanke, after the former Bournemouth striker had been announced as Spurs' new forward this week, signing for £65 million ($83m).

Kane said to Sky Sports: "It should be great. Dom is a great player, plays with high intensity, high speed. For sure he’s going to get chances in this team with the way that Ange plays.

"You saw that today with two top teams going at it toe-to-toe so I think it’s a really good signing. I saw him in the dressing room there and just wished him all the best and of course I hope that he has a good season."

Ange Postecoglou has been crying out for a forward in recent weeks and he has finally got someone who scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season. After Kane moved away to Germany last summer, the Australian coach headed into the season without a direct replacement for Tottenham's all-time leading goalscorer, but that has now changed with Solanke's arrival.

There will be pressure on Solanke to hit the ground running after the demands set by Postecoglou and the heavy price tag that Spurs paid to get him to North London. He could make his debut for the club on Monday, with Tottenham set to travel to Leicester City in the Premier League.
