 August 6, 2023 With just a year left on his Spurs deal, there is still a good chance the 30-year-old leaves for Bavaria this summer. But all the speculation clearly did not impede his performance as Kane, who was named captain, helped down Shakhtar Donetsk in this friendly designed to raise funds for Ukraine. The striker opened the scoring with a first-half penalty, then grabbed two more in a five-minute spell shortly after the break, via a header and a close-range finish, before making it four with a tap-in. Kane was watched on by Micky van de Ven, the Dutch defender who is to undergo a medical at Hotspur Way on Monday as he wraps up a £43m switch from Wolfsburg. The 22-year-old, dubbed the Bundesliga's quickest defender last season, will no doubt be as desperate as all the watching supporters that Kane hangs around this summer. Spurs were good value in this exhibition, dominating possession, creating chances and entertaining the crowd. But Ange Postecoglou's risky high line at the back looked vulnerable to long balls, so Van de Ven's pace will be a most welcome addition.
