The attraction for Tottenham's new regime is perfectly clear. Bringing home Harry Kane would be a glorious coup, an absolute triumph.
There might be no better way to signal this fresh dawn than to cough up the £56.7million it would take to prise Kane away from his Bavarian residency and prove their ambition to the masses.
Spurs are buying no longer in the business of selling, it would scream. They're buying. And they're buying for now. Not for later.
With Daniel Levy no longer at the helm there is one major obstacle removed to the potential for a romantic reunion, because by the time he had spent two years forcing his way out of the club Kane had little appetite to go back and work for the man who made his exit so painful.
