Tottenham have confirmed the appointment of Ange Postecoglou on a four-year contract. The 57-year-old, who becomes the first Australian to manage in the Premier League, will officially start on 1 July and arrives to a cluttered inbox, with the future of Harry Kane the single greatest issue.

Postecoglou will want clarity over Kane as soon as possible, not least because Hugo Lloris is on record as wanting to leave and so the appointment of a new captain will be needed. It will be Kane if he can be retained but the striker, who has 12 months to run on his contract, has shown no signs that he is about to extend.
