Bayern Munich chief makes Harry Kane transfer statement after Tottenham ace praises club

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Khan has suggested that Tottenham star Harry Kane is a future target for the German giants following a recent interview.

Star striker Robert Lewandowski looks set to complete his move to Barcelona very soon after the two clubs came to a verbal agreement on an offer in the region of £42.5million and it appears that they are already eyeing up potential successors. When asked about Kane, Khan refused to deny the club's interest in the Englishman.

“He is under contract at Tottenham," he said after being asked if Kane is a target in summer 2023. "Sure, an absolute top striker, but that's all a dream of the future. So let's see what happens."

It's not really surprising to hear that one of the top European clubs are monitoring Kane's situation as there are very few in the world who can match his quality, with the versatility he provides an extremely attractive trait. His ability to drop deep between the lines, and offer teammates an option whilst facilitating attacks enables him to act as a very strong creator.

Obviously, the most notable aspect of his game is the ruthlessness he shows inside the 18-yard area, capable of scoring all types of goals. For now, Kane will be focused on delivering a stellar impact for Antonio Conte's men in leading the line. He, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski have formed an excellent partnership together; the key to the club securing Champions League football last season. They've now added Richarlison who will offer brilliant competition by pushing the first team starters.

Kane has been speaking very highly of the club's transfer dealings and is looking forward to doing "something special" next season under Conte. And if big things were to happen that could put him off leaving the club at any point.

"We’ve made some big signings, early signings which is great," he said before discussing the impact Conte has had on him and the rest of the squad. "Antonio has been fantastic. I’ve learned from every manager I’ve worked under. Antonio has probably taken fitness levels to another level for me. The mentality, being with him every day seeing the way he prepares, the way he brings his passion and brings the best out of the lads, I’ve learnt from that."

Elsewhere, football.london understands that a deal between Middlesborough and Spurs over Djed Spence is set to be completed on Monday, which would be the club's sixth signing.

Despite a large amount of business already being completed, it would not be surprising to see the club make more moves in the window since it was was reported that the Lilywhites were looking to make at least six signings so should any more attractive opportunities arise in the market, Spurs will look to pounce.
