Manor Solomon has heaped praise on Harry Kane having already been impressed with the Tottenham Hotspur striker.

Harry Kane has made a great first impression on new Tottenham Hotspur signing Manor Solomon.

The Ange Postecoglou era kicked off earlier on Tuesday with Spurs taking on West Ham United in Australia.

Postecoglou will have been hoping to start with a win in his home country, but things didn’t quite go to plan.

Danny Ings and Divin Mubama put West Ham 2-0 up before Spurs brought it back to 2-2 through Giovani Lo Celso and Destiny Udogie.

West Ham still won it though as Gianluca Scamacca made it 3-2, giving Postecoglou a debut defeat.

Manor Solomon comments on Harry Kane

Postecoglou won’t be too worried about the result, especially as Tottenham played some lovely football.

The Australian decided to give debuts from the start to Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison and Manor Solomon as they look to kickstart their Tottenham careers.

Solomon started on the left wing as Son Heung-min missed out on an appearance against the Hammers.

The Israeli – who recently joined Tottenham from Shakhtar Donetsk – almost found the back of the net just before half time.

Teed up inside the box, Solomon fired his shot at Lukasz Fabianski – but he was clearly wiped out by Jarrod Bowen in the process and should have been given a penalty.

Solomon went off at half time as Spurs switched their entire lineup but he will be pleased with what he offered.

Solomon has now spoken to Football London following the defeat to West Ham and was asked about Harry Kane.

The former Fulham loanee has discussed his first impressions of Kane, noting that he has been very welcoming so far.

Solomon added that Kane is a ‘big character’ and everyone at Tottenham wants to follow him moving forward.

“He was really welcoming,” said Solomon. “You see that he is a big character and everyone wants to follow him. He’s a big, big player and we hope to play with him.”

“I am really excited to play with such a big player like Harry Kane. It’s an honour for me. I want to help him and I want to learn from him,” he added.
