Harry Kane waves at Tottenham fans during lap of honour, but Ryan Mason insists he was NOT saying goodbye

While another added: “Is this the final Goodbye from Harry Kane?”
But Mason has insisted that Kane’s actions were not out of the ordinary.
During his post-match press conference, the 31-year-old said: “No, he waves at the crowd every season.
“I remember sitting here two years ago, and you guys were convinced he was leaving, saying the same thing.
“It’s the last home game of the season so he wants to show his appreciation to the support he’s received, and we’ve all received this season.”
