Harry Kane spent two hours at Mauricio Pochettino’s house on the day after his Tottenham Hotspur sacking, but is now aiming to build a trophy-winning bond with new head coach Jose Mourinho.

Pochettino left his team a farewell message at the club’s Enfield training centre after being dismissed last Tuesday night, but a number of players, including Kane and Eric Dier, made sure they said a personal goodbye the following day.

Striker Kane was on target to help Tottenham to a first win under a Mourinho and a first victory away from home in the Premier League since January with a 3-2 success over West Ham United.

Kane admitted that he was shocked to find that Pochettino had been dismissed and could not allow the man who had such a big influence on his career leave without thanking him face-to-face.

“I’ve been to see him,” said Kane. “I went around his house and caught up with him the next day. It was a shock for everyone, so I wanted to go and see him and we had a chat for a couple of hours, and it was nice to do that before the new manager came in.”
