Harry Kane has admitted that he was shocked by the news of Daniel Levy’s departure and praised the former Tottenham chairman for how he has built up the club over the last two and a half decades.
Tributes have been pouring in from everyone associated with Spurs, with the news of Levy’s departure taking everyone by surprise.
Mauricio Pochettino admitted that he was shocked by Levy’s exit and confessed that he is in the dark as to what led to it.
Heung-min Son sent a classy message to Levy, thanking him for all that he has done for him during his decade in North London, and now, his former striker partner has weighed in.
Harry Kane claims Daniel Levy transformed Tottenham
Many Spurs fans applaud Levy for the work he did on the business side, but feel that he failed in delivering successful teams.
However, Kane, who came through the academy at Hotspur Way and saw the club grow into the behemoth it is today, believes that Levy had delivered both on and off the pitch.
When asked about the 63-year-old’s departure, the striker told The Independent: “Obviously it was a bit of a surprise, if I’m honest. I didn’t expect it, didn’t see that coming.
“Daniel has been a fantastic chairman for Tottenham in the 20-or-so years he’s been there. Considering where the club was and where it is now, I think there’s been a big change, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well.
“At any stage, there’s always going to be change in clubs, and change in the higher positions.”
Kane says Tottenham are entering a new chapter
There have been plenty of reports over the last few days suggesting that the Lewis family want to usher in a new era of on-pitch success at Tottenham.
Kane wished Levy well in his next projects and suggested that his exit marks a new chapter for his boyhood club.
The Tottenham legend added: “Obviously, I don’t know too much about why or what happened. All I can say is I wish Daniel all the best in whatever’s next for him.
“We obviously built a relationship over the time we had together. I’m sure at some stage we’ll catch up. Overall, for Tottenham, it’s a new chapter they’re trying to create now.”
