Ange Postecoglou using Harry Kane ploy to seal Harry Maguire as first Tottenham transfer

Ange Postecoglou could target Manchester United captain Harry Maguire as his first Tottenham transfer with the added hope it could tempt Harry Kane to stay.

Maguire, 30, is expected to be the subject of interest from other clubs this summer, having slipped down the pecking order at Old Trafford this season. Despite falling out of favour, he will still attract plenty of suitors with Spurs believed to be in the market for a centre-back.

Maguire and Kane know each other well from the England national team and are thought to be close - a fact which could be used by Spurs to tempt their all-time top goalscorer to remain at the club as they embark on a new era under Postecoglou. Kane has even recommended signing Maguire to club chiefs in the past.
