Tottenham confirm new number 10 following Harry Kane departure

Tottenham Hotspur have announced that James Maddison will inherit the number 10 shirt left vacant by Harry Kane.

After 19 years at the club, Kane ended his association with Spurs on Saturday when he completed an £86.4m move to Bayern Munich.

He made his debut for the Bundesliga champions later that evening, coming off the bench as Bayern were beaten 3-0 at home by RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup, meaning his career-long wait for a major trophy goes on.

Tottenham must now push on without their all-time record scorer, and they have wasted no time handing out his iconic number 10 shirt.

Summer signing Maddison has been dealt the vacant shirt. The England midfielder was also named as one of Spurs' two new vice-captains alongside Cristian Romero on Saturday, with Son Heung-min taking the armband.

Maddison has impressed in pre-season for Tottenham and is in line to make his competitive debut in Sunday's trip to Brentford.
