Tottenham director Fabio Paratici claims they kept Harry Kane in the summer because they want him as a part of their rebuild.

The Italian claims there is no need to have a word with the striker because he knows how to share a sense of belonging at the club.

He made this comment as Kane struggles to replicate the form he showed for the club last season.

He was the Premier League’s top scorer and provided the most assists in the competition as the Lilywhites were top of the league standings before the new year.

He hasn’t scored a goal in the competition this season and his poor form has been linked to the fact that he asked to leave the club at the end of last season and he was denied a transfer to Manchester City.

However, Paratici thinks the striker remains committed to the club, but some fans disagree and believe they should have sold him when they had an offer and used the money to sign a replacement.

Fabrizio Romano posted Paratici’s claims on his Twitter account and here are some reactions:
