Chelsea are monitoring Harry Kane’s situation at Bayern Munich and are considering a transfer for the former Tottenham icon, Football Insider reports.
Kane left Spurs for Bayern in the summer and had a prolific debut campaign in Germany, scoring more goals (25) than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
However, a defeat in Bochum at the weekend left Bayern eight points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and the German giants also lost their Champions League opener against Lazio 1-0 last week.
Kane is said to be unhappy in Germany and is tempted to return to the Premier League.
Chelsea, who are looking for a big-name striker in the summer, would be happy to sign a striker of Kane’s calibre.
A move to Stamford Bridge would see Kane link up with Mauricio Pochettino, as the two worked together at Tottenham during their time together in north London.
The Blues would reportedly be willing to pay the same amount Bayern paid for Kane last summer, which would ease their stance towards the 30-year-old.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has made a shocking revelation about Harry Kane’s contract. “There is a buy-out clause”. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has confirmed that the club has a buy-out clause that would allow it to re-sign Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane. However, it is not known at this stage whether the club will exercise this option.
By returning to England, Kane would also have the chance to improve Alan Shearer’s record for goals in the Premier League, as the Bayern star is currently 260 goals short of the 47 he has scored.
Football.london writes: That would be astonishing. Kane moving to Chelsea? It doesn’t seem right to me. The striker left his boyhood club in the hope of establishing himself as one of the best strikers in Europe.
He scored goals for fun at Bayern and it is highly unlikely that he will want to move out of Germany after one season. The Bundesliga paid £100 million for him, can you imagine what they would ask?
The idea of Kanu in a blue jersey may excite some people. But we can be honest and admit that it is not going to happen.
