Some Newcastle United fans have been reacting to a tweet that was recently posted by Magpies-focused Twitter account @NUFCgallowgate which shares a report claiming that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane will be Mauricio Pochettino’s “main objective” in the transfer market, should Pochettino become the manager of the Toon following the completion of the proposed Saudi-backed takeover of the club.
This tweet includes a link to an article from the Daily Star which relays this report linking Kane with a Pochettino-led Newcastle United. This alleged news originally surfaced from Spanish publication Todofichajes who have claimed that an agreement is close between Pochettino and Newcastle for the Argentinian coach to become the Magpies’ next manager, should the proposed Saudi-backed takeover of the Toon be completed.
This report also claims that Pochettino would make Kane his primary transfer target. This alleged news has drawn a sceptical reaction from some of the Toon fans who have been responding to @NUFCgallowgate’s tweet. Read the replies of some Newcastle fans to this post in the tweets below.

With new ownership it’s possible dependant on the ambition. We need new owners and we need to know what the plan is or isn’t before links like this but wow he would finally be shearers replacement and would be adored for sure

With new owners we can get him easily but atm I don’t think we will go for players like him and if we do I don’t think he will come he will want instant CL if he leaves spurs

What do we think?
As per the Daily Mail, Newcastle United’s proposed new owners would become the wealthiest in the Premier League, should this takeover be completed. With that in mind, it may not come as a surprise that the club are being linked with players such as Kane, who is currently valued at £108m by Transfermarkt and managers such as Pochettino, who guided Tottenham Hotspur to the UEFA Champions League final back in the 2018/19 campaign.
However, considering that this takeover hasn’t officially been announced yet, it may be wise of these Newcastle fans to take this report with a grain of salt.
