  • Tottenham striker Harry Kane said he held an "honest conversation" with chairman Daniel Levy on Monday to try to revive the club's season.
  • Kane and some other senior Spurs players met with Levy 24 hours after their 6-1 thrashing at Newcastle.
  • Interim boss Cristian Stellini was sacked later that day and replaced with first-team coach Ryan Mason.
  • "I think it was important [for Levy] to understand where the players' heads were at in that moment," said Kane.
  • "It was an honest conversation of where everyone is at and what we need to try to do to give us the best possible chance to finish the season with something

 

  • Kane added that he felt the Newcastle result had been "building up" since Tottenham conceded two late goals in a 3-3 draw against Southampton last month, a result that led to the departure of previous manager Antonio Conte.
  • The north London club fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Manchester United in Mason's first game back in charge on Thursday to stay fifth in the table, six points outside the top four.
  • "We're still fighting for fourth place but if it's not fourth, we'll try to finish fifth or sixth - as high up as we can," added Kane.
  • "In this league, it's so competitive, you can easily end up eighth or ninth if you're not careful. That's what it was - to give us the best chance and I'm glad we reacted like that."

 

  • Kane would not comment on speculation about his future despite Manchester United fans singing they would "see him in June" during Thursday's match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  • Kane, who was the subject of interest from Manchester City in 2021, is about to enter the final 12 months of his Spurs contract and has been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford.
  • "I heard what they were saying but I'm just focused on this team and trying to finish strongly," he said.
  • 'Kane one of the best in the world'
  • Meanwhile, interim boss Mason has labelled Kane "one of the best and most intelligent players in the world".
  • The 29-year-old is the club's all-time top scorer with 274 goals in 430 appearances having moved ahead of Jimmy Greaves in February.
  • He also overtook Wayne Rooney to become England's all-time top scorer with his 54th international goal against Italy last month.
  • "This country probably doesn't appreciate how good Kane is from a footballer point of view. He's incredible," said Mason, who was also a team-mate of Kane during his playing days.
  • "Watching him live, this country should appreciate we've got a real special talent. We're talking about one of the best, most intelligent players in the world."
