Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is now considered ‘increasingly likely’ to stay at the club despite an offer from Bayern Munich.
Harry Kane is looking increasingly likely to stay with Tottenham Hotspur despite an offer from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
That is according to Sky Sports reporter Paul Gilmour, who has been speaking on air this afternoon.
Gilmour stated earlier today that Kane was leaning towards staying at Tottenham as of this morning.
That was before news of Bayern’s bid emerged publicly but GIlmour has now offered an update.
Gilmour has now stated on Sky Sports that the ‘latest information’ is that Kane is ‘increasingly likely’ to stay at Tottenham now.
Many expected Kane to make the move to Germany; would Bayern have really gone this hard for his signature without an indication that he wanted to join?
Well, Kane seemingly isn’t completely sold and the current indications are that Kane is now planning to stay at Tottenham.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that Kane is committing his future to Tottenham; his contract ends in 2024 and he could easily walk away for free.
Spurs will hope that Kane can be talked around though, especially with an exciting brand of football emerging under new boss Ange Postecoglou.
“Tottenham and Bayern Munich have agreed a deal worth almost £100million for the England captain Harry Kane, well our information – and we’ve been waiting on Kane’s decision or any sort of insight – and the latest information we have is that it’s looking increasingly likely that Harry Kane will stay at Tottenham this season, so that’s some news just reaching us, the sort of information coming in,” said Gilmour.

This has been a torrid summer for Bayern when it comes to targeting English players.
Bayern wanted to land midfielder Declan Rice from West Ham United but he ended up going to Arsenal instead.
Bayern also targeted a deal for Kyle Walker and whilst that deal looked likely at times this summer, he is now set to stay at City.
Kane was the top target with Bayern desperate to land a new striker but they look set to miss out on a third England international.
Bayern have been fairly public with their pursuit of Kane, believing that he would jump at the chance to move to Bavaria.
Well, Kane may be having a change of heart and maybe it isn’t all about trophies after all.
Kane may win a Bundesliga or two if he makes the move to Germany but would he really win a Champions League trophy there? Recent form suggest probably not.
The England star is also chasing down Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record and he could get very close with a strong campaign this season.
Kane may still leave Spurs in 2024 but Tottenham fans will be delighted if he decided to snub Bayern and continue in North London.
