Jermain Defoe has claimed that everyone associated with Tottenham wants to see Harry Kane succeed at Bayern Munich.
Kane will undoubtedly go down as Tottenham’s biggest legend of the Premier League era and some might even argue that he is the greatest player that the club have ever had.
However, it is fair to say that some of the comments that the 30-year-old has made since his switch to Bayern in the summer have not gone down particularly well with parts of the Tottenham fan base.
His assertion last month about there being more pressure at Bayern to pick up consistent results than there was at Spurs (Mirror), led to some backlash on social media.
The England captain has had an outstanding start to the season with 13 goal contributions (nine goals and four assists) in nine matches across all competitions so far, and Defoe believes that Tottenham fans want the centre-forward to succeed at the Allianz Arena.
Jermain Defoe wants to see big things from Kane
When asked about Kane’s move to Bayern, the 41-year-old told Stats Perform (as relayed by SportMax): “For Harry, it’s amazing for him and his family. It’s a new challenge.
“Everyone at Tottenham wants to wish him the best – we always knew he was going to do well anyway because he’s a world-class player. He’ll score goals anywhere. Nothing changes in terms of goals.
“We just want to wish him the best because Harry as a footballer is special but he’s a special guy and he deserves everything he gets.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Even though a vocal minority of Spurs fans on social media appear determined to find reasons to hate Kane, the striker will undoubtedly always be loved by an overwhelming majority of the fan base.
