Tottenham duo Matt Doherty and Dejan Kulusevski have revealed that Harry Kane surprised them at half-time in Wednesday evening's friendly match against Nice. Leading 1-0 at the break courtesy of the wing-back's strike after the Swede had teed him up, the players headed back inside and were met by Spurs' No.10.
Missing a crucial penalty in England's World Cup quarter-final defeat against France, Kane has had a short break since the Three Lions' campaign came to an end against Les Bleus. Now back in N17 and getting ready for the Boxing Day clash at Brentford, both Doherty and Kulusevski, who hugged their teammate upon his return to the Spurs dressing room, have admitted that it was a welcome surprise to see the striker once again as his appearance was unexpected.
“He came in at half-time. It was unexpected. We didn’t know. We’re obviously close friends. It was good to have him back," explained Doherty.
