Bayern Munich star Harry Kane told he made a 'massive mistake' over costly contract decision

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes it was "crazy" for England captain Kane to sign a six-year deal with Tottenham back in 2018, a decision that arguably put pay to a 2021 switch to Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side bid £100 million ($132.7m) for the striker but Spurs wanted more before he joined Bayern two years later.

He said on the SDS YouTube channel: "You think about that deal for Harry Kane, is he going to go to Man City? I was excited for him. I was thinking it was going to happen, but he signed a new contract before the 2018 World Cup, and for me, that was a massive mistake, that was crazy."

If Kane had moved to City, it is unlikely they would have signed the prolific Erling Haaland in 2022. The England star missed out on the chance to win his first-ever major trophy earlier, something he finally achieved with Bayern's Bundesliga title success earlier this year. We may never know whether Kane regrets signing that Spurs contract all those years ago but he has still had a career to be proud of. 

Before Kane's Bayern begin their Bundesliga title defence later this month, the 32-year-old could feature for the German giants in their pre-season friendlies against Lyon, Tottenham and Grasshoppers on August 2, 7 and 12 respectively.
