Tottenham get transfer answer in major Harry Kane development
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has been linked with an emotional return to Tottenham in the upcoming transfer window.
The England international won the first trophy of his career on the weekend as Bayer Leverkusen dropped points in the Bundesliga.
Since leaving Spurs, silverware continued to elude him, but he finally won the Bundesliga title.
Christoph Freund confirms Kane is set to stay at Bayern Munich
With Kane winning a trophy, some believe he has unfinished business in the Premier League.
He appeared to be on course to beat Alan Shearer’s record for most goals in the top flight, but ended up leaving before achieving that feat.
The Englishman came close to winning a trophy on numerous occasions with Tottenham, but a runners-up medal is the best that he could achieve.

Spurs have signed a number of attackers since Kane left, but are understood to be open to his return to the club.
However, that is not expected to happen this summer with Bayern director Christoph Freund confirming he’s set to stay.
He said on his potential exit this summer: “That’s not even a topic.”
Tottenham must not entertain the idea of a Kane return
Bringing Kane back to Tottenham wouldn’t align with the club’s long-term vision, as both parties have moved on since his departure.
Kane, now 31, has finally won a trophy with Bayern Munich, fulfilling a key career goal, and Bayern’s director has firmly dismissed any summer exit.
Meanwhile, Spurs have shifted focus under Ange Postecoglou, signing new attackers and building a squad for the future. Kane’s return, while emotionally appealing, would be a short-term fix.
He would likely need replacing again in a few years due to his age, disrupting the club’s momentum.
Spurs should prioritise developing younger talents and creating a cohesive, sustainable team capable of challenging for trophies over the next decade.
Kane’s pursuit of the Premier League goal record is no longer Tottenham’s concern.
He’s thriving in Germany and Spurs must focus on their new era, not a nostalgic reunion that risks stalling their progress with an ageing star.
