Arise King Kane

Tottenham legend Harry Kane opted to take on a new challenge last summer when he moved to Bayern Munich for a Bundesliga record of £86.4 million. Although it was a big loss, he left North London with good wishes from Tottenham fans.

Kane has now scored more goals on their debut season in the German league than any other player in Bundesliga history. He broke that record when he scored his 31st goal of the campaign against Darmstadt 98.

League Gone But Still Chance of Silverware This Season

Unfortunately for Kane, Bayern Munich have failed in their bid to win the league title this season, as that honour has gone to Bayer Leverkusen. They are still in contention for a major trophy though, as they remain in Europe. Bayern are 5/2 for those betting on football to win the Champions League.

Kane will be hoping to score the goals needed to reach the final of the European competition. In the Champions League betting, Bayern are 5/4 to defeat Real Madrid in the opening leg of their semi-final encounter at the Allianz Arena.

The six-time winners will face Dortmund or PSG in the final in what will be a blockbuster conclusion to the premier European competition should they progress through to that stage.

Kane a Big Player for England This Summer

England boss Gareth Southgate will be hoping the former Spurs striker carries his form into the European Championship this summer. The Three Lions begin the tournament as the favourites to lift the trophy.

After the season he has had in the Bundesliga, Kane will feel at home in the event in Germany. The 2018 World Cup Golden Boot winner will be desperate to help his country take that next step towards winning a major tournament. His side were beaten in the final of Euro 2020, but they appear better equipped now than they did at the last edition.

Kane has scored 62 goals in 89 appearances for England. He will be bidding to become the first Three Lions captain since Bobby Moore to lead his country to tournament success.

A Return to Spurs One Day?

Although Kane is flourishing in this latest challenge in his career, a return to Spurs one day cannot be ruled out. He scored 213 Premier League goals, and he needs just 48 goals to break Alan Shearer’s record in the league.

Tottenham will always feel like home for the 30-year-old. He spent 19 years at the club, scoring 280 goals in 435 appearances. He was linked with a move to Manchester City are various points of his time in England, but he felt like a switch to Germany was the best thing for his career.

Kane will play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer for the first time since his transfer when his Bayern Munich side travel across to North London for a friendly. That will be the chance for Spurs fans to show their appreciation for their club record holder.
For now, Kane will be focussing on ending his season strongly and preparing for this summer’s European Championship.
