Gunners still in Kane’s sights
HARRY KANE has proved once again he is ‘one of Tottenham’s own’ by ignoring his own manager’s call for professionalism by admitting that finishing above Arsenal this season would be special.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said his club should stop worrying about their rivals so much after a 2-1 home defeat against Southampton opened the door to another year of hurt.
Arsenal have finished higher in the top flight every season since Arsene Wenger’s arrival 19 years ago and can make it 20 if they beat Aston Villa on the final day and Spurs lose at Newcastle.
Kane feels it is high time Tottenham were able to claim the local bragging rights.
“It would be a really good feeling,” he said. “It was not something we focused on at the start of the season but now we’re here it would be good, good for the fans. They would have bragging rights for once in a long time so, yes, we want to finish second. It is in our hands.” MICHEL PLATINI has resigned as UEFA president after failing to overturn his FIFA ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport .
