Sky Sports presenter laughed out as sensational Harry Kane to Tottenham transfer claim emerges
Tottenham have started the season well under new manager Thomas Frank.
Richarlison started in red-hot form but has since settled down, as Spurs sit third in the Premier League table going into the second international break.
There were doubts that Richarlison could replace legendary striker Harry Kane, who is now thriving at Bayern Munich.
Kane’s performance against Chelsea in the Champions League this season shows he is still world-class, and fans are dreaming of the club legend returning to N17.
Harry Kane’s Tottenham return seems implausible
Kane is remembered as the greatest striker to ever play for Tottenham, and his departure ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Kane has been linked with a sensational return to Spurs at the end of the season, much to the delight of supporters.
Speaking to Sky Sports on 7 October, former QPR striker Charlie Austin made a strong claim that Kane would never return to Tottenham.
He said: “So Kane wins the Champions League, has a successful World Cup, wins the Bundesliga, but all of a sudden he’s going back to Tottenham?”
Presenter Tom White argued: “I think he might, if he wins everything at Bayern Munich, I don’t think it’s a stupid claim.”
Austin responded while laughing it off: “No way, Tom.”
This prompted huge disagreement from White, who believes Kane could follow in the footsteps of Gareth Bale in returning to Tottenham, should he taste success in the World Cup and Champions League.
| Stat | Tottenham | Bayern Munich |
| Appearances | 435 | 106 |
| Goals | 280 | 103 |
| Assists | 60 | 27 |
Kane finally won the first trophy of his career last season, lifting the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.
He is also England’s record goalscorer, scoring 74 goals in 109 appearances for the Three Lions.
Kane has been a world-class striker for nearly ten years and is continuing to prove that he can outclass elite defences despite being 32 years old.
If Kane were to return, Frank’s system could get the best out of him.
Thomas Frank would get the best out of Harry Kane
Richarlison’s form has never been this good during his Spurs career, with Frank’s style of play getting the best out of the Brazilian striker at times.
Frank also had great success at Brentford, working with Ollie Watkins and then Ivan Toney, with both players going on to score over 20 Premier League goals in a season under Frank’s stewardship.
The former Brentford manager has a knack for developing strikers into top-class talents, and he wouldn’t even need to do that in this case.
Kane’s return may be in the wildest dreams of some Spurs fans, yet others should remain hopeful that he may finally play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium once more.
