After a couple of months of constant rumours about a potential return to the Premier League, and more specifically, to Tottenham, Harry Kane has now set the record straight regarding his plans for the summer.
Since it first emerged at the start of February that Kane’s contract at Bayern has an exit clause of £54m, which can be activated this summer, the speculation over the striker’s future has gone into hyperdrive.
Reports over the recent weeks have claimed that Spurs have not ruled out the possibility of making a shock move to bring Kane back to N17.
It has also emerged over recent days that Man United are prepared to do everything they can to sign Kane, thus potentially paving the way for a big transfer battle between the Lilywhites and the Red Devils.
Harry Kane addresses possibility of Premier League return
Despite what is being reported by the English press, various sources have continued to state that Bayern are relaxed about the situation as they do not expect Kane to leave.
Now, the England captain has put an end to the rumours once and for all by making it clear that he is not thinking about leaving the Allianz Arena anytime soon, remarking that he is very happy at the Bavarian side.
When asked if he would consider returning to the Premier League one day, Kane told ESPN: “I’m not sure. I’ve said throughout my whole career, I’m not someone who likes to think too far ahead.

“I’m extremely happy here. I think we have a fantastic team, and fantastic coaching staff and I just feel like whilst I feel like I’m in the best condition, I wanna play at the highest level possible, and this is as high as it gets.
“So I know a lot can change in football in a short space of time and things can happen, but ultimately my focus is here. I’m not thinking about any other league or any other team. And with football, I like to just go the flow and at the moment the flow is here at Bayern Munich.”
Harry Kane reveals main difference between Tottenham and Bayern Munich
Kane admitted that he is relishing the chance to regularly compete for the biggest trophies in the game, which he was not consistently able to do at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 32-year-old revealed his excitement for the final run-in this season, with Bayern looking to do a sensational double by winning the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
Kane added: “I think when you’re just playing in the biggest games every season, year after year, I think that puts you on that stage.
“I had moments at Spurs where we had that … we had some really great years where we was challenging for titles, and were in the final of the Champions League. So, I had those moments at Spurs, but not on a consistent basis. It wasn’t year after year.
“This is my second year in Bayern and we have the chance to reach our second semifinal in the Champions League, another title race. So yeah, all those factors that come into it. Bayern are seen as one of the biggest clubs in the world and it’s exciting to play for them.”
