Tottenham report: Bayern Munich revive Harry Kane interest as contact is made
Tottenham captain Harry Kane was linked with the German giants over the summer and they remain interested.
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.
