Despite the ongoing speculation surrounding Harry Kane’s future, James Maddison hopes that Kane will remain at Tottenham, emphasizing that the rumors have not diverted the focus of his new teammates.
Maddison recently became one of the initial signings during Ange Postecoglou’s tenure at Spurs, completing a £40 million transfer from Leicester last month.
However, the uncertainty surrounding Kane’s potential departure to Bayern Munich remains a prominent topic. The German club is reportedly eager to secure the England international and is preparing a new bid for the 30-year-old striker.
Amidst ongoing discussions about Kane’s future, which even included a Bayern shirt with “Kane 9” presented to Postecoglou during a media event on the club’s recent Asia-Pacific tour, Maddison affirmed that Kane’s professionalism has ensured that the matter has not disrupted the team’s focus.
Speaking at the TNT Sports start-of-season event in London, Maddison stated, “It hasn’t been a distraction; Harry is super professional.”
“I won’t go into details because I don’t know anything and let’s be respectful about Harry’s situation.
“Everyone knows what Harry Kane is like, he’s a super professional guy and whatever club he is at, whenever he goes into training he gives 100% and it’s the same as all the lads so not [a distraction] at all really.
“We were friends before I joined Tottenham from the England squad, we have similar interests and get on well anyway away from football.
“I would love Harry Kane to stay. He’s the best No9 in the world in my opinion but what will be, will be and Harry is super professional.”
