Tottenham unexpectedly approaches centre-back Harry Maguire to keep Harry Kane

The Telegraph revealed that although Tottenham's number 1 striker Harry Kane is receiving attention from MU, the "Rooster"'s approach to Harry Maguire is completely unrelated to this deal. On the contrary, the London team's leadership believes that if they have Harry Maguire, Tottenham can keep Harry Kane next season. Harry Maguire and Harry Kane are teammates on the England team and have a very close relationship with each other.

After confirming the appointment of coach Ange Postecoglou as the team's new captain, Tottenham is actively appointing a sporting director and starting to plan transfers in preparation for the 2023-2024 season. Tottenham only approached Harry Maguire but has not sent an official offer to MU. However, the British media confirmed that Tottenham's board of directors highly appreciated the English midfielder's ability and was serious about this deal. Previously, when he was still playing for Hull City, Tottenham wanted to recruit Harry Maggie but the midfielder moved to Leicester City and then joined the "Red Devils".

Harry Maguire has fallen out of favour under Erik ten Hag, but despite his poor form at Old Trafford, he remains a key figure for England and has been a key figure for Gareth Southgate's side at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

After having a new sporting director, Tottenham are preparing to let go of 7 first-team players. In the latest updates, "The Chicken Watch" will listen to offers for Ben Davies and Eric Dier, both of whom were pillars in the team's defense for many seasons ago. Meanwhile, Davinson Sanchez, who was booed by a part of Spurs fans, is likely to not stay at Tottenham Stadium. Clement Lenglet could return to Barcelona after a season-long loan deal. Therefore, adding a new center-back is considered urgent for the London team before the new season starts.

In addition to Harry Maguire, new coach Postecoglou has also been consulted on potential transfer targets such as Leicester City duo James Maddison and Harvey Barnes. In a statement, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said he has great confidence in coach Postecoglou and is ready to bring in the players the Australian coach wants.

Daniel Levy said: “Postecoglou brings a positive mentality and a fast-paced, attacking style of play. He has a strong track record in developing players and understands the importance of the academy links, which are important to our club. Tottenham will help Postecoglou with players who he believes fit his philosophy.”
