[스포츠조선 이원만 기자] It was not cool to say goodbye to a player who has been active as a symbol of the team for a long time. Tottenham Hotspur expressed their sadness regarding Harry Kane’s transfer as a ‘training ground ban’. As it turned out belatedly, Kane was unable to properly say goodbye to his comrades because of this.
British media Daily Mail reported on the 31st (Korean time) that ‘Kane was banned from the Tottenham training ground just before transferring to Bayern Munich. This prevented him from saying goodbye to his teammates at the training ground,’ it was reported. Kane’s transfer was the biggest issue in the transfer market last summer. Kane, who only plays for one Tottenham team and has the highest score in the English Premier League (EPL) and the second highest score in his personal career, moved to Munich to fulfill his desire to win.

Munich put a lot of effort into it. The offer has been amended more than four times to meet Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy’s £100 million transfer fee offer. In the end, Kane officially confirmed the transfer to Munich on the 12th. Tottenham showed an open stance to Kane, who has the club’s all-time high scorer, saying, “I can return to the team at any time,” and showed a cool farewell attitude.
But that wasn’t the case. Behind this appearance, Kane was actually banned from entering the training ground. The Daily Mail, citing a report by The Telegraph, reported that ‘Kane was banned from the Spurs training ground in London before going to Germany following signing a contract with Munich’. According to the Telegraph, Tottenham reportedly sent Kane an email stating that it was inappropriate for him to enter and exit the training ground prior to completing his transfer to Munich. In effect, it was a ‘no entry’ notice.
This cost Kane the opportunity to say goodbye to the Tottenham staff and team-mates, whom he had eaten in the same bowl for nearly 20 years. He also mightn’t take any of his belongings he left behind in the locker room and the like. The Tottenham club needs to organize it and send it to Kane. Kane’s family was also barred from entering.
It is highly likely that Chairman Levy’s influence was behind these measures. Kane wanted to continue his training as well as say goodbye to his teammates. However, due to the firm decision of the Tottenham club, he might not use the training ground. It is believed that instead of meeting and saying goodbye to coach Posteco Glu and his fellow players in person, he instead said his final goodbyes over the phone.
