Mauricio Pochettino: 'Harry Kane needs summer break'

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino is concerned about a possible heavy workload for Harry Kane in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he fears a busy summer for Harry Kane could have a negative impact on the striker's development.

Kane has enjoyed a breakthrough season at White Hart Lane under the Argentine, and his form is expected to earn him a spot in the England senior squad later this month.

However, the Spurs forward is still believed to be in Gareth Southgate's plans for this summer's Under-21 European Championship, and Pochettino is hopeful of coming to an agreement with the Football Association.

"Maybe I'd prefer that Harry has a month's holiday after the season to rest and recovery his body and mind. We need to arrive at a deal with the player and the FA," Pochettino told reporters.

"This is our concern - he is our player. The FA need the player to play but at the same time they are concerned about the development of their own young talent."

Kane has scored 24 goals in all competitions for Spurs this season.
