‘I expect goals!’ – Harry Kane sent strong message by Bayern chief ahead of Champions League clash with Arsenal

The under-fire Bundesliga giants, who have lost their last two league games, are all set to take on an in-form Arsenal side in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final fixture on Tuesday. Ahead of the all-important clash at Emirates Stadium, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl claimed that he expects their star forward Harry Kane to step up and score against his former north London rivals.

Speaking to BILD, Eberl said, "I expect goals. He's already scored a lot, which is doing us a lot of good. He is returning to his homeland."

Yet Eberl also insisted his team were underdogs for the match: "Arsenal is already the favorite! They are top of the Premier League and doing very well.”

The 30-year-old England international played his first-ever game against the Gunners in 2015 while playing for Tottenham Hotspur. Since then, he has faced the Premier League giants on 19 occasions across all competitions and has scored 14 times and provided three assists. In the current season, the England captain has enjoyed a rich vein of form as he netted 38 goals in 37 matches for the Bavarian club.

After facing Mikel Arteta's men during the midweek, Thomas Tuchel's side will be back in action in the Bundesliga on Saturday as they take on FC Koln.
