Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo says Harry Kane is committed to the club and that it is time for everyone to “move forward” after the England captain scored twice on his return to the Spurs side.
Having announced on the eve of the match he was staying “this summer” following speculation about his future, Kane inspired Spurs as they overturned a first-leg deficit against Pacos de Ferreira to reach the Europa Conference League group stage.
“All the situations that have happened, are part of the past, let’s look and move forward,” added Nuno.
“He doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone. Harry’s with us so we have to take advantage of it.”
Trailing 1-0 after the first leg in Portugal, Kane opened the scoring after a lovely pass by winger Bryan Gil.
Kane, starting his first club game since 23 May, added a second before half-time from close range.
Giovani lo Celso capped a fine Spurs performance when his free-kick was deflected in for a third goal which sealed the hosts’ victory.
Tottenham will discover their group opponents on Friday, with the draw scheduled to start at 12:30 BST.
