“He is in a very good mood”, Pochettino added.
“There are different rumours”.
Tottenham – who beat Sunderland 1-0 on Sunday – return to Premier League action when they travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon in the English top flight.
Spurs’ crunch north London derby against Arsenal on November 6, just under seven weeks away, may come too soon, while his involvement in England’s qualification game against Scotland on November 11 and their friendly at home to Spain four days later also appears in doubt. “We’re not expecting any big issues”.
“Two 20-goal seasons have put pressure on Kane to deliver for Tottenham, and Vincent Janssen was brought in to take some of the burden off the 23-year-old’s shoulders”.
Kane has been an integral component of Tottenham’s success in recent years and has scored 62 goals in the past three seasons.
“You can see his qualities”.
Pochettino said Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier would undergo fitness tests ahead of the game, after both players went off due to cramp in their hamstrings against Sunderland. It’s always hard when you don’t have an opportunity to play – strikers are always excited to play and sometimes feel the pressure.
“But in football you don’t have time because the new season is starting and you need to be ready to help your team and ready to compete”.
