Harry Kane: 'A lot needs changing for Tottenham Hotspur to be successful'

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has admitted that "a lot needs to change" in North London if the Lilywhites are to challenge for silverware again.

Kane's boyhood club can only finish as high as seventh in the Premier League table and will end another season trophyless for the 15th year running following a turbulent few months.

Under Antonio Conte, Spurs' Champions League dreams ended in the last 16 at the hands of AC Milan, while they also suffered early FA Cup and EFL Cup exits to Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest respectively.

In the wake of Conte's bitter exit, his former assistant Cristian Stellini lasted just 29 days as acting head coach, being given the sack just 24 hours after an embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United.

Ryan Mason has since stepped in to become Tottenham's third head coach this season, but the 31-year-old has won just one of his five games in charge and oversaw a 3-1 loss to Brentford in Spurs' final home fixture of the season on Saturday.

Kane drew first blood in that encounter with a stunning strike into the top corner, but Bryan Mbeumo's second-half brace and a late Yoane Wissa effort turned that London derby on its head.

A large chunk of fans had already made their way to the exits before a muted end-of-season awards ceremony and lap of honour, which many believed would be Kane's last in a Tottenham shirt - suggestions that were downplayed by Mason.

When asked about his future by the Evening Standard, the 29-year-old unsurprisingly remained tight-lipped, but he conceded that a significant summer rebuild was needed.

"I've said all along I'm focused on this season and trying to help the team as much as possible. That's all I can do," the England captain responded.

"There's a big summer ahead and a lot that needs to change here to start being successful again. Ultimately my focus now is to enjoy this last week as much as possible and try to finish with a win [at Leeds United] on Sunday.

"I think there's a conversation [with the chairman] to be had anyway in terms of some of the values of the club. It will be a conversation, we've had many conversations before like that on how we can improve, and that will be the case again.

"It's been a tough season for a lot of the players. It's never easy playing at this highest level and performing week in and week out. That's what separates the best teams from the teams where we are now.

"I've said all season long we have to show more consistency but it's easier said than done. There's still a lot of work to do and all we can do now is prepared for the final game of the season."

Despite Tottenham's long-lasting struggles, Kane has enjoyed another fruitful season on an individual level with 30 goals in all tournaments, finding the net 28 times in the Premier League.

The 29-year-old, who is believed to be on the radar of Manchester United and Bayern Munich, has now scored in 25 separate Premier League games this term, breaking the previous single-season record of 24 set by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in 2017-18.

Mason's side sit eighth in the table ahead of their final-day trip to Leeds United, one point behind Aston Villa in the race for Europa Conference League football. body check tags ::
