‘He’ll score goals’ – Liverpool told Harry Kane transfer is a ‘great option’ as Alan Shearer reacts to speculation raging around Bayern Munich striker with Premier League record in his sights

Tottenham’s all-time leading scorer bid farewell to the Premier League when linking up with Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023. Remarkable individual standards have been maintained there, with the target being found on 76 occasions through 82 appearances.

Kane has also taken his historic haul of goals for the Three Lions to 71 through 105 caps. If he were to return to his homeland, then another entry in the record books would fall within reach. He is currently 47 efforts short of Alan Shearer’s all-time high of 260 Premier League strikes.

Shearer would be happy to see his achievements eclipsed if Kane were to take on the challenge of chasing him down, with a move to Anfield – as Liverpool close in on title glory this season – making a lot of sense to all concerned.

Ex-England No.9 Shearer has told Betfair: “Harry Kane is a machine and he'll always score goals. Despite his age, if you provide him with chances or balls into the box, he'll find a way to put the ball in the back of the net and that's the sign of a great goalscorer.

“Liverpool will be looking for a centre-forward in the summer, I don't doubt that and Harry Kane would be a great option for them because of the size of the club and he'll score goals. Whether Harry decides to stay in Germany or he decides to come back to the Premier League, he'll have options.

“I've always said that if he comes back to the Premier League then he'll have a really, really good chance of breaking my record. I'm a huge admirer of him and you can't be anything but because of who and what he is.

“My Premier League record won't last forever. I don't know how long I've been at the top of the charts but it's been a great privilege to be there when you look at the number of top quality players there. The record will go one day and when it does go, and if it's to Harry, he knows I'd be the first to congratulate him and shake his hand because if anyone deserves it, he does. At the moment, I'm still enjoying it so long may it continue!”

Kane moved to Germany in a bid to break his much-publicised trophy duck. He is still waiting on an elusive first major honour, but remains in contention for Bundesliga and Champions League title glory in 2025. If he were to claim a winners’ medal this term, then the 31-year-old may open himself up to offers once more.
