Bad news for Tottenham as talisman is ‘tempted’ by move abroad

Tottenham Hotspur face Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, looking to make it two wins from two in Group D of the Champions League. 

Antonio Conte’s side ran out 2-0 winners over Marseille last time out, but currently sit second in the group behind their opponents on Tuesday evening.

Richarlison was the hero for Spurs last week, netting both goals during the win over the French side, as Harry Kane endured a frustrating evening in front of goal.

Now, speculation is once again circulating around the England captain’s future.

The striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham several times in the past, with a move to Manchester City looking almost certain during the summer of 2021 and German champions Bayern Munich heavily linked with the star more recently.

Kane, 29, has stayed put in the capital, but it is now being claimed that he could soon move to Germany.

As per Florian Plettenburg via The Express, Bayern have been encouraged by Kane’s apparent desire to join the club.

Kane is reportedly a target for Bayern Munich

The report claims that the Englishman can ‘really, really imagine’ playing for the Bundesliga champions one day, despite having appeared to commit his future to Spurs over the summer.

The forward, who has scored 253 goals in 393 matches for the club, has less than two years remaining on his current contract, although it is also claimed that his current employers will soon attempt to tie him down to a new, longer deal.

Bayern are on the hunt for a striker following the departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona over the summer.

While Sadio Mane joined the club from Liverpool, they didn’t find a central striker to replace the Polish international, who netted 50 goals in 46 games last season.

The German side may face a tough task in luring Kane away from London, though, as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has previously been adamant that the player is not for sale at any price.

Levy has already rejected at least two offers, both believed to be worth more than £100 million, from Manchester City for the player over the past two years, although he will be wary that the player’s value will decrease as he nears the expiry of his contract.
