Chelsea have splashed the cash like no other in recent times, but it has simply resulted in them going backwards.
That all-important number nine is still needed, despite the £1bn spent by under-fire owner Todd Boehly.
But with Bayern Munich struggling this season, Kevin Nolan admitted that he could see star striker Harry Kane returning to the Premier League sooner rather than later, as he told talkSPORT.
When Chelsea’s name was put on the table as a possible destination, it was quickly swatted away by the West Ham United coach and he stated he would be ‘very surprised’ if it happened.
Even though the Englishman has been out of the Premier League for less than 12 months, there is still talk of a return.
Sources have told HITC Football that Manchester United, who are making changes upstairs, are going to push to sign him in the summer.
Despite Bayern’s struggles, Kevin Nolan did point out that Harry Kane is still playing for a ‘top team’ and is ‘looking fantastic’.
Harry Kane at Chelsea
“I would be very surprised if he (Kane) went there (to Chelsea),” said Nolan.
“When I look at him, he is scoring goals and he is looking fantastic. Still playing in a top team and playing in the Champions League.”
Harry Kane’s search for a trophy
With Bayer Leverkusen holding a ten-point lead at the top of the table, it seems as though that search for a trophy will go on.
Yes, Munich are still in the Champions League after their two-legged win over Lazio.
But the Italian side are one of the weakest teams in the knockout stage and they made life very difficult against them.
It would be crazy for Kane to win the European Cup in his debut campaign in Germany, but you just feel they will be outdone by the stronger sides as they progress further.
