Mauricio Pochettino makes feelings clear as he sidesteps talk of Harry Kane Chelsea move

A move to manage Chelsea hasn't affected Mauricio Pochettino's admiration for Harry Kane - but he's stopped short of suggesting a move for him.

The pair worked together for five years at Tottenham, with the striker a pivotal figure in the unquestionable progress made by the club under the Argentinian boss. A reunion was widely touted this summer, but Chairman Daniel Levy was seemingly cold on the idea of Pochettino returning following the sacking of Antonio Conte.

Instead Chelsea pounced, and now Ange Postecoglou is the man charged with the task of keeping the club record goalscorer content, with Kane's current deal in north London set to expire in 12 months. Manchester United have long pursued the England captain, while Bayern Munich have also registered their interest this summer despite advances being firmly rejected.
