NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO broke Tottenham’s silence on the Harry Kane situation by admitting he still hasn’t spoken to his star – and that the club need to sort out the mess quickly.
Kane has not even been in contact with his manager since angering Spurs by staying on in Florida for three days when he was due back on duty.
And speaking after the 2-2 pre-season draw with Chelsea, Santo said: “The answer I will give you is I expect to speak with Harry soon and I haven’t had the chance yet.
“It is not that I don’t want to comment, what I believe is all this issue related to Harry I believe we should discuss internally among us and try to avoid any kind of public argument or discussion about it.
“We have to focus on what is important. We have to solve the situation but first between us.
“We solve the situation internally with the club.
“Speaking and trying to reach a better solution and conclusion to this situation.
“All pre-season for all clubs has been hard in terms of preparation, I know this is a different aspect.
“I know it is different circumstances but it has been very hard for everybody.”
Kane had further irked Spurs by disobeying orders to return from his holiday.
