    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Tottenham face Bayern for the second successive game, having played against the German side in the final game of their pre-season tour of Japan and Asia last week. It is the final game of both side's pre-season ahead of the new campaign. However, both Kane and Dier did not start the game in North London, instead being used as substitutes for the friendly.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Kane's impact on Tottenham cannot be overstated, with the England star's becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer (280) before generating a record sale when he joined Bayern for €95 million (£81.5m/$103.8m) last summer.

    Dier will also form part of Tottenham's history, with only five players featuring in more Premier League games than the defender during his ten-year stint at the club.

    WHAT NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM AND KANE?

    Spurs will kick-off their Premier League season against Leicester in over a week's time in a game which could see their new striker feature, after Dominic Solanke's club-record £65 million ($82.75m) transfer from Bournemouth was confirmed this week.

    Kane, meanwhile, will not start his Bundesliga campaign for another two weeks, although Bayern are set to face second division side Ulm in the DFB-Pokal next week.
