Happy Kane is 'all in' for Bayern and the lederhosen

A return to Premier League is possible but looks unlikely

- RICHARD JOLLY

Harry Kane has swapped his lederhosen for his England tracksuit but he expects to wear the traditional Bavarian garb again.

The England captain got dressed up this weekend, as Bayern Munich's players have to, for Oktoberfest. It is unlikely to be his last. After this season, Kane has one year left on the deal he signed when he joined in 2023. It contains a release clause that goes down by the window, but getting Kane out of Germany is not as simple as that. Nor, indeed, is relying on signing him on a free transfer when his contract expires in 2027.

While Thomas Frank had hinted at the possibility of a return to Tottenham, saying their record scorer would be “more than welcome”, Kane is increasingly open to extending his stay with Bayern. Their sporting director Max Eberl has suggested Bayern will try to tie Kane down. If it long felt probable Kane would return to England, perhaps to break Alan Shearer’s record of 260 Premier League goals, now he is less sure.
