Harry Kane ‘looked despondent towards the end of Chelsea thrashing and knows Spurs aren’t going to challenge for the top four this season, claims Gary Neville
Gary Neville discusses how alarm bells will start ringing after Harry Kane’s despondent demeanor during the defeat against Chelsea and provides his thoughts on the penalty drama at the London Stadium.
Gary Neville says Harry Kane knows Tottenham won’t challenge for the top four. Kane was left frustrated as Tottenham was beaten 3-0 at home by Chelsea. The striker was heavily linked with a move away but ended up staying at the Spurs
Kane was denied a big-money move away from Spurs over the summer after a very public push to join Manchester City.
Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel revealed last week that discussions had been held over the possibility of bringing Kane to Stamford Bridge, but Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy would not budge on interest from any suitors.
The 28-year-old is yet to score in the Premier League this season and cut a frustrated figure, playing deeper and wider than usual as Spurs fell to the Blues on Sunday.
“It’s never easy when a player wants to leave your club, and everybody in the dressing room in the ground knows that he wants to leave,” Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast.
“I think that there will be some questions coming out of that game because he looked despondent towards the end.
“He was playing against a very, very good team. He will have been part of a Tottenham team over the years where Chelsea has a good record and he will be thinking, ‘I’m here again, playing at Tottenham. We’re not going to challenge for titles or get into the top four.
“He wanted more, he wanted to go and challenge for titles. This Chelsea team will challenge for titles.”
