Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has told Football.London that he is shocked Harry Kane didn’t tell him he was set to receive an OBE.

The Spurs striker was named in the New Year’s Honours list, after his impressive World Cup.

However, Tottenham boss Pochettino only learned that Kane was being recognised in such a manner at his latest press conference.

He said: “I didn’t know. I was talking today with him but he didn’t tell me about that. I hope tomorrow that he confirms that and explains that face to face. After I am going to give my opinion, I want to hear from him. Strange that he didn’t tell me.”

Kane scored six goals for England at the World Cup, with the Tottenham’s striker’s relentless goalscoring showing no signs of stopping.

Kane has hit 12 goals in 19 Premier League matches for Tottenham this season, leaving him near the top scorers in the division once again.

Kane scored for Spurs in their last match, as they got past Bournemouth in comfortable fashion.
