Ange Postecoglou did not take too kindly to a practical joke played by a German reporter during his most recent Tottenham press conference.

The interview session was interrupted by a journalist from german holding up a Bayern Munich shirt with 'Kane 9' on the back.

Of course, the Bundesliga giants are chasing the signature of the Spurs and England captain this summer.

And Postecoglou was quick to shoot down the gatecrasher in Bangkok.

He said: "Did you get a good laugh there? You've come a long way for that. Thank you."

Spurs are currently on their pre-season tour of Australia, Thailand, and Singapore, with three weeks remaining until the Premier League season begins.

The club has already rejected two bids from Bayern for Kane this summer, with the latest believed to be worth £67.5million, plus add-ons.

Daniel Levy is holding out for an upfront fee north of £80million. 

Reports emerged yesterday stating Kane will not sign a new contract, with his deal due to expire next summer, meaning he can then walk for free. 

At the same time, it's said the striker will not force his way out of the club in this window, although, he would be open to going to Bayern if the clubs can agree a deal.

Postecoglou admits he's not relaxed about the situation, but refused to put a timescale on any resolution.

He said: "I've had all types of strikers. I've worked with all kinds of strikers. The one I look for is someone with the ability and laser focus to score goals.

“It’s not something you go: ‘Ah, well, you know if it does or doesn’t happen!’ I mean it’s a very important part of this football club, not just the team, but the football club. He is such a massive figure, and as I have said already, whilst my focus isn't on it on a daily basis because I’ve got other things I need to do, I know that every time I am talking to you guys, or whenever Harry is going to talk, that’s the first question you are going to get.

"So, you’ve got to deal with it, and I think, for everyone concerned, we don’t want to be doing it for too long. I don’t think that is good for anyone. I don’t think it is good for Harry, I don’t think it is good for the club, because as laser focused as we want to be, you end up sort of repeating yourself along the way.

"But the flip side of that is I don't want to put a deadline on it because that adds even more pressure. You want these things to happen for the right reasons. The reality of it is he’s still a contracted player at our football club, so that’s the way I see him.

"It’s not like his contract is ending on the 12th [of August] and he’s got to make a decision, he’s got another year. So from that part, I am not relaxed but I am not putting pressure on him or anyone else at the football club, saying ‘Well we need to do this’. But I don’t think deep down any of us want it to go on for too long."
