BBC pundit Nigel Reo-Coker has now made a bold prediction about Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur after Spurs sanctioned Harry Kane’s transfer to Bayern Munich.

The 30-year-old ended his 20-year association with the north London club on Saturday with his move to Germany. Tottenham accepted an initial £86m, rising to £100m after add-ons, to sell Kane to Bayern Munich. While the forward has put pen to paper on a four-year contract.

Kane could now make his Bayern Munich debut as soon as tonight when Der FCB take on RB Leipzig. The Bavarian powerhouse faces the Red Bull franchise club for the DFL-Supercup at 19:45. It could even yield the very first trophy of the England captain’s first-team career yet.

Tottenham sold Kane to Bayern Munich against the risk of a free transfer

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy agreed to sell Kane against the risk of the striker leaving for free next summer. The 84-cap ace was set to be out of contract at the end of the season. He bowed out after scoring 280 goals and laying on 64 assists in 435 games in all competitions.

His last season in north London featured 32 goals and five assists in 49 games, as well. Kane scored 18 more goals than Son Heung-Min, who ended the campaign second in Tottenham’s scoring charts. Rodrigo Bentancur also ended the term third with the midfielder’s mere six.

Reo-Coker makes a bold prediction about Postecoglou at Spurs

Now, Reo-Coker reckons Tottenham selling Kane has taken all of the pressure off new Spurs manager Postecoglou. The Australian took over the helm in north London this summer with Levy finally replacing Antonio Conte. He took charge after a trophy-laden tenure with Celtic.

Reo-Coker explained on BBC Sport’s Football Daily podcast: “Postecoglou is definitely under no pressure whatsoever because Tottenham is a shambolic club at the moment.”

Postecoglou won the Premiership title and the Scottish League Cup in both of his two terms at Celtic. He also sealed a domestic treble in 2022/23 by adding a Scottish Cup honour to his haul. Now, Tottenham hope Postecoglou takes a Kane-less team to a first trophy since 2008.
