'I thought he was going to Man City' - Tuchel glad to see Kane stay at Tottenham after summer transfer rumours

The Chelsea boss views the forward's situation as a fan as he hopes he can go down as a one-club player

Thomas Tuchel is glad that Harry Kane remained at Tottenham amid strong links to Manchester City this summer, while the Chelsea boss also says his club were "never close" to pursuing the Spurs star.

Kane remained at Spurs this summer despite Manchester City's pursuit, with rumours of a move only heating up after Kane didn't show up to the club's first training sessions.

But Kane has said that he's fully committed to Spurs going forward, which Tuchel is happy to see as a fan, even if he isn't eager to face the striker as a coach.
