Harry Kane appears to be enjoying some downtime in Germany after giving fans a peek behind the curtain into his life. The England captain has had a scintillating start to the season for Bayern Munich, as the Bundesliga side goes from strength to strength under Vincent Kompany. Now, he has shared a few photos of his family life with his Instagram followers in a cheery post.

Harry Kane is considering a departure from Bayern Munich and could look to make a blockbuster switch to Barcelona. The English striker has been in ruthless goalscoring form this season and may look to experience a new league while he remains at the top of his game. Kane is mulling over the possibility of a new contract at the German giants, but his future remains in the balance.

Bayern Munich continued their record-breaking start to the season as the Bundesliga leaders swept aside Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at the Allianz Arena to secure a 15th straight victory of the new season. With Harry Kane named amongst the substitutes, Nicolas Jackson stepped up to score his first Bundesliga goal. Serge Gnabry also scored for Vincent Kompany's side, while Loic Bade put through his own net to secure the result before half-time.

How to watch the Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Head coach Vincent Kompany has issued a simple but urgent warning to his Bayern Munich players: do not commit "stupid fouls" against Bayer Leverkusen. The coach has identified free-kick specialist Alejandro Grimaldo, who has scored four direct set-pieces already this season, as the primary threat to Bayern's perfect record in Saturday's Bundesliga clash.

Bayer Leverkusen head coach Kasper Hjulmand insists his side "can win" against Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich, despite admitting the "gap is now bigger" to the defending champions. As Kompany and team ride a perfect 8-0 winning streak, Hjulmand is looking to "close the gap" and prove the runaway leaders are not "unbeatable" in Saturday's crucial clash.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has defended Nicolas Jackson against criticism, calling his impact "outstanding" despite his wait for a first Bundesliga goal. The Bayern boss insists the Chelsea loanee is "where he needs to be" and has interpreted his tactical role perfectly, even as club legend Lothar Matthaus claims he looks "out of place."

Harry Kane's sportswear brand has come up with an incredible environmental initiative ahead of the FA Cup first-round clash between Luton Town and Forest Green Rovers on Friday. The Bayern Munich and England star is an investor and ambassador for Reflo, who have made a brilliant pledge before their two partner clubs lock horns in the oldest competition in football.

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich are seriously targeting Feyenoord's 19-year-old right-back Givairo Read and have already held initial talks, according to reports. However, the German giants face a "very complicated" transfer battle, with multiple Premier League clubs also vying for the highly-rated Dutch Under-21 star.

Legendary former Bayern Munich midfielder Lothar Matthaus is concerned about Nicolas Jackson's playing time at Bayern Munich, claiming that the Chelsea loanee looks "out of place" alongside bigger names such as Harry Kane and Michael Olise. The Senegalese international has scored just twice in 10 games and has been struggling to make an impact at the Allianz Arena.

Former Germany midfielder Didi Hamann criticised the match officials after Luis Diaz was wrongly deemed onside before scoring the equaliser, which proved to be the turning point in Bayern Munich’s 4-1 win over Koln. Hamann argued that the absence of VAR until the third round of the DFB-Pokal is unfair to teams that have been eliminated due to refereeing errors.

Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid are circling Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck, with the German defender’s contract talks at a standstill. Bild reports that Schlotterbeck, whose current deal runs until 2027, has rejected Dortmund’s latest offer and is demanding a wage closer to €14 million per year, a figure the Reds are reportedly ready to offer him next summer.

Koln sporting director Thomas Kessler has moved to calm the hype surrounding rising star Said El Mala, following reports of interest from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and several Premier League clubs. El Mala has committed his future to Koln by signing a contract until 2030 and the director insists he will not be sold any time soon by the Bundesliga side.
