Tottenham vs Swansea: Harry Kane wants to win trophies, but as a one-club man

It has been 55 years since Tottenham Hotspur last won the league title and 32 years since their last European honour but that has not put off Harry Kane.

The 23-year-old signed a deal keeping him at White Hart Lane until 2022 this week and has now revealed his reasons.

Kane, who scored twice as Tottenham dismantled Swansea City, believes his side can win the very best competitions in Europe during his time at the club despite their lack of recent success.

It is a time of transition for the North Londoners with a redevelopment of their stadium but the England striker can only envisage good times despite a disappointing season so far including an early exit from the Champions League.

“I want to win trophies,” said Kane. “Premier Leagues, Champions Leagues.

“We’ve got to aim high, we have everything in the right place. You see the stadium being built every time we come here, little by little, it’s exciting.

“We’ve got everything in place to be one of the top clubs in Europe. That’s the aim, that’s my goal and I’m sure it is the club’s goal too.

“I’m happy here, I feel the club’s progressing, we’ve got a great manager who I believe in a lot and the players believe in a lot, the stadium, the training ground.

“They are exciting times. There was no hesitation in signing.

“I’ve said before I want to be a one club man. From my point of view, as long as the club’s always progressing and has got a vision and going forward, then I’d love to do that.

“At the moment, that’s the case, so there is no reason for me to move anywhere else.”

Kane’s double against Swansea ensured the Welsh strugglers were well beaten with most of the second half still to play. He opened the scored with a 39th-minute controversial penalty after claims Dele Alli had been tripped in the area by Kyle Naughton and, after a Heung-Min Son wonder goal, scored again after Son had done the hard work. Christian Eriksen then added two further goals.

Kane has now scored six goals in five matches since returning from an ankle injury and can see the light after Tottenham won for only the second time in 11 matches.

“Last year in December and January we really pushed on and put a good string or results together,” said Kane. “That is what we have got to do now.

“We have definitely got some winnable games coming up, some good games at home that we should definitely win.

“You can’t use European football as an excuse but when European football isn’t on, you have to use that to your advantage.

“You’ve got to be fresher, train harder during the week, because there is a bit more time to do a bit more tactical stuff. We have to use that to our advantage, try and push on and get wins like this.

“We know in the last couple of months we could have done a lot better. We are looking to get a good run together and hopefully push us up the league, so we can start fighting for the title.”

Things look bleak for Swansea but Lukasz Fabianski, their goalkeeper said: “I think the group is good enough, we have really good players, but we need that extra character and determination in small moments.”
