Gus Poyet believes that Harry Kane will wonder how Ange Postecoglou has completely transformed things at Tottenham in such a short space of time, but the pundit insisted the striker will not have any regrets over joining Bayern Munich.
When Kane left Tottenham in the summer, most pundits discounted the Lilywhites from the race for European qualification, let alone the top four, with some even suggesting that they would struggle to finish in the top half of the table (Football Insider).
However, Spurs look a transformed side under Ange Postecoglou and have undoubtedly improved despite losing their record goalscorer.
There also seems to be a connection between the club and the fan base that was missing over the last few years, which is arguably down to the kind of attacking football that the side is now playing, which is much more in line with the club’s traditions.
Poyet believes that Kane will be bewildered at the change in style, given that they played defensive football over the past few years, but the Uruguayan insisted that the 30-year-old will be happy with his decision to move to the Allianz Arena.

Harry Kane will be wondering about Ange-ball
When asked what will be going through the England captain’s mind, the former Tottenham midfielder and assistant coach told The Sun: “Harry Kane is doing very well at Bayern Munich so he can’t have any regrets about leaving Tottenham.
“I’m sure he will be wondering what has happened at Tottenham given that he spent the last three years playing in his own half in a defensive setup and now they are suddenly playing offensive football and he is not there.
“I think Ange Postecoglou has made an incredible impact and the football is amazing. There have been a few games which have seen a lot of goals and that was expected but I think that was welcome for Spurs fans. Now it is a matter of seeing whether they can maintain that.
“The impact has worked well but now it is about whether or not they can maintain the adrenaline and keep performing at that level rather than settling down and getting comfortable. That is the most important step for Tottenham to take in the next two or three months.
“I don’t think Harry Kane will have any regrets about leaving Spurs because he is playing for one of the best teams in the world in Bayern Munich where he is going to be challenging for every trophy, but for sure there will be something inside him thinking that what is happening at Spurs is incredible.
“Every decision made by a player can have a positive impact on another and we have seen that with Heung-min Son who has become a more important player and he is scoring goals and having an impact again down the middle.
“He proved the other day against Arsenal that if you give him the chance, he will score a lot of goals, especially when playing this kind of football.”

This summer was undoubtedly the right time for Tottenham and Kane to part ways as the club were embarking on a new project and the striker needed to add silverware to seal his legacy in the game. This is one of those rare big-money transfers that all three parties would be quite pleased about.
