Tottenham report: Bayern Munich revive Harry Kane interest as contact is made

Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane remains a top target for Bayern Munich, according to reports.

The England skipper was linked with the German champions during the summer transfer window following Robert Lewandowski’s move to Barcelona.

Nothing came of the speculation, but Kicker reports that Bayern’s interest is still alive.

The Bavarians have made contact with Kane’s representatives about a potential move.

Kane will enter the final year of his Spurs contract next summer, although his boyhood club want to extend the deal.

Teenager Mathys Tel was the only centre-forward that Bayern brought in this summer to fill the void vacated by Lewandowski, although Sadio Mane also arrived from Liverpool to bolster the attack.

Former Rennes starlet Tel, 17, got off to an impressive start with two goals in his first five appearances, but Bayern have had a tricky start to the 2022/23 campaign.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side are fifth in the Bundesliga standings after seven rounds after picking up 12 points from a possible 21.

Kane has started the season in flying form, scoring six goals in seven Premier League matches – a tally only bettered by Manchester City’s unstoppable Erling Haaland.

Antonio Conte has asked his Tottenham side to be dreamers ahead of a busy season. The Italian is convinced that Harry Kane is now 100% happy, though he’s admitted that Spurs need another window to fully compete. Worries over Son Heung-min’s form have been quashed by the manager, too. 

With a packed schedule, it’s been confirmed that Kane will get plenty of rest. Despite this, there weren't many incomings towards the end of the window. A new playmaker has been touted, with Tanguy Ndombele leaving on loan. Djed Spence could well be starting soon too, with Conte impressed with the new signing.
