Harry Kane in Tottenham's pre-season Asia-Pacific tour squad but no Hugo Lloris

Harry Kane has been included in Tottenham's pre-season Asia-Pacific tour – but club captain Hugo Lloris will stay behind as the French goalkeeper looks to finalise a move to a new club.

England skipper Kane has entered the final 12 months of his Spurs contract and is attracting interest from Bayern Munich amid reports the Bundesliga champions have lodged a formal bid.

Spurs confirmed veteran goalkeeper Lloris had been granted permission not to travel on the tour "in order to explore prospective transfer opportunities".

Tottenham’s stance on Kane, though, has not changed since Manchester City tried to sign the forward in 2021.

City’s advances were turned down and the north London club plan to reject any bids for the forward this summer, despite his contract now entering its final 12 months.

Another player expected to depart is Croatia winger Ivan Perisic – one of the travelling tour party – as Postecoglou trims down a bloated squad ahead of the new Premier League campaign, which starts at Brentford on 13 August.

Tottenham fly out to Perth in Australia – with new signing James Maddison making the trip after the England midfielder's switch from Leicester – ahead of an opening fixture against West Ham on 18 July.
