Harry Kane has claimed that it was important for Daniel Levy to know where the players' heads were at following their 6-1 humbling at Newcastle United. In a poor run of form prior to their trip to St James' Park after falling out of the top four, Spurs were put to the sword by their European rivals and found themselves 5-0 down after 21 minutes.
The result culminated in Cristian Stellini's dismissal as Tottenham's acting head coach, with Ryan Mason duly replacing him in the role until the end of the current campaign. In Levy's statement to the fans following the managerial decision, he stated that he had spoken to Tottenham's player committee, which comprises of Kane, Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and that the squad are determined to finish the season strongly.
Pressed about his meeting with the chairman, the Tottenham striker admitted that it was an "honest conversation" and that things "had been building up since the international break" after surrendering a two-goal lead at Southampton.
