Harry Kane makes feelings clear on Tottenham transfer and eyes Premier League impact

Harry Kane is confident that Tottenham star Mathys Tel can "shine in the Premier League " after making a permanent move to the north Londoners from Bayern Munich.

Kane had the chance to play alongside Tel before his mid-season move to Tottenham. The French forward is highly-rated and is tipped for big things but wanted regular first-team minutes and those in the capital were able to convince him to join amid interest from elsewhere.

Tel joined initially on loan and Tottenham have decided to make that deal permanent, spending £30million to secure his services. The 20-year-old scored on his first start in an FA Cup loss at Aston Villa, which was one of the three goals he managed across his 20 outings.

The forward was playing in an underperforming side that finished firmly in the bottom half but Kane is confident, with a new manager at the helm and a full pre-season, that Tel can be a big hit.

He said, following Bayern's 4-0 win over Tottenham: "He’s got great potential. Whether he’s playing as a left winger or a striker, he gets into dangerous areas, he can finish the ball well, and he’s good one-v-one.

"I don’t want to put too much pressure on him – he’s going to the Premier League, he’s still extremely young although he has a lot of experience here, he still has to develop and improve, he knows that and he works hard to do that, so I just want him to go and enjoy himself, have confidence and hopefully he can shine in the Premier League."

Tottenham have added Mohamed Kudus to further compliment their frontline, although they have lost James Maddison for much of the season due to injury. New manager Thomas Frank has previously helped the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, who plays a similar position to Tel, to thrive.

And now the ex-Brentford boss is excited about the prospect of aiding Tel's development. He said: "Very, very excited about Mathys signing with a permanent deal. I think he’s a very talented player who can play across the front four positions.

“He’s a goalscorer that we can develop even further to be more consistent in his all-round game but also to more consistently land in the right positions in the box. So I’m looking forward to it.”
