Tottenham Hotspur finally won a trophy last season after 17 years of waiting.

Spurs became Europa League champions in Bilbao, beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final to win their first trophy since 2007.

Tottenham finally won some silverware, but, sadly, one player who wasn’t a part of that journey was Harry Kane.

Kane was cheering Spurs on from a distance, and he will always love the club.

Kane spent years at Tottenham trying to win a title, but, sadly, it never quite happened for him and he had to leave Spurs to join Bayern Munich in order to win some silverware.

Speaking on SDS, Ian Wright has been discussing Kane and the fact he didn’t win a trophy at Spurs, and he says that Daniel Levy let Kane down when he was in north London.

Daniel Levy let Harry Kane down

Wright spoke about Kane and his lack of success at Tottenham.

According to the pundit, Daniel Levy and Spurs let Kane down during his time in north London, stating that he should’ve built a team capable of winning trophies.

“I’m glad he’s won his Bundesliga good luck to him you know,” Wright said.

“It goes down to Tottenham and Levy, the way that place has been run as a business, magnificent, but from a football point of view. If you’ve nurtured Harry Kane through your academy and you’ve not built a team for a goal scorer of that ability and capability and not won anything, they failed him. Fact, they failed him because he can’t do any more. Yeah, I’ve not seen a striker like that. Honestly, man, you know, a generational player,”

Tottenham spending while Harry Kane was at Spurs

Wright says Daniel Levy let Harry Kane down at Tottenham, but Tottenham did show plenty of ambition throughout that period.

Indeed, Tottenham spent a lot of money between Kane’s debut and his departure from the club, and they made some big signings as well.

Of course, the complete lack of spending in the 2018/19 season was bordering on disgraceful as that was the time for Spurs to really kick on after three years of knocking on the door of the title race, but they spent heavily the year after, although many of those signings were poor.

Tottenham did spend a decent amount of money throughout this period, but, frustratingly, many of these signings didn’t go to plan.

Tanguy Ndombele was a flop, as was Giovani Lo Celso, and, sadly, that hampered Tottenham’s ability to grow.
