Harry Kane has been linked with a shock move to Arsenal after it was revealed that he has a cut-price release clause in his contract at Bayern Munich. Kane made a £100million switch from Tottenham to Bayern in the summer of 2023 and has since scored an impressive 70 goals in 72 appearances across all competitions.
Despite his goal-scoring prowess, Kane's efforts have not resulted in silverware, which was his primary reason for moving to the Allianz. Currently leading the Bundesliga scoring charts, Kane signed a four-year deal upon joining the German giants, but it seems they may now struggle to retain him.
It has come to light that Kane's contract includes a clause allowing for a potential Premier League return. The clause was valued at £67million in the recent winter transfer window, with the price expected to drop to £54m next January.
Arsenal legend Paul Merson has urged the Gunners to seize this opportunity. Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson said: "Arsenal will buy him," and when questioned about his certainty, he added: "Why not? £64m, why not? Sol Campbell did [make the move]. People will go 'Oh he's this age and that age' but Arsenal need now."
He continued: "If Arsenal haven't won the League, you've got to take a chance. You've got to take a chance, buy someone that's proven. I wouldn't be surprised, and when you're Harry Kane and you've been told you can go for £64m, there's only a couple of teams who could buy him.
Despite his successful tenure with Spurs, Kane is reportedly settled in Germany and isn't keen on a return to the Premier League anytime soon. The 31-year-old made his intentions crystal clear last year when he asserted his commitment to Bayern: "I'm really enjoying my experience in Germany. It was a step that I needed in my career for a fresh stimulus, a fresh challenge and new surroundings and I'm really happy that I made the move," he declared.
"My future is at Bayern Munich. I have a four-year contract. I'm enjoying it and hopefully, I will be able to make something special happen this season. If not, I'll be ready to go again in the summer and turn things around."
