Arsenal trophy troubles used as Harry Kane transfer warning - with Bayern Munich's former Tottenham striker seeing surprising Premier League return speculated on

England international Kane is expected to bring his long wait for major silverware to a close in 2024-25. With remarkable individual standards being maintained by the prolific frontman at Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga title is very much in his sights.

There has been talk of Kane returning to the Premier League once breaking his trophy duck, with it revealed that a £64 million ($81m) clause in his contract can be triggered in the winter transfer window of 2026. Arsenal, who remain in need of a proven No.9, have seen a shock approach speculated on.

A return to north London at Emirates Stadium is considered to be highly unlikely for Spurs’ all-time leading scorer, with ex-Tottenham forward Louis Saha telling Paddy Power why such a switch makes no sense: "Harry Kane is a legend at Tottenham. He left the country for trophies and a new challenge, and he could end up back in the Premier League – he may prefer the lifestyle in London.

"I could never see him joining Arsenal though – they are not guaranteed to win trophies, despite having great players and playing well. A striker of his quality will definitely give them more of a chance, but he can do that at Tottenham as well.

"He’s someone I respect and a good example for youngsters, so I could never advise him to join Arsenal."

Kane is tied to a contract at Bayern through to the summer of 2027 and has offered no indication that he is considering another fresh start. The 31-year-old has registered 73 goals during his time in Germany through 74 appearances in all competitions.
