Ange Postecoglou hopes Harry Kane will be playing up front for Tottenham when the season kicks off.
England captain Kane is being courted by Bayern Munich, who have already had two proposals of around £60million and £70m turned down.
He has one year remaining on his Spurs contract, though chairman Daniel Levy has not given up hope of convincing the striker to sign fresh terms.
When asked if Kane would be up top against the Bees in three weeks, new boss Postecoglou replied: "I certainly hope so.
"It's one of those things where, when you're in this role, I've learned that you've got to deal with the certainties that are before you.

More from Rio Ferdinand
Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand is desperate for his old side to sign a centre-forward.
He told TNT Sports: "It's been well documented that Manchester United need a No. 9. The striker they had at the club last season [Wout Weghorst] did not score a single goal.
"There will be no bedding in period, he [Harry Kane] knows the Premier League inside out so there will be no acclimatisation issues.
"That's what Manchester United needs right now and that's what Ten Hag needs."
While Kane is Ferdinand's No1, the pundit added: "Victor Osimhen would be a great addition, too."
