Harry Kane opens up on Tottenham return, new Bayern deal and old wounds
Harry Kane has been speaking at length about his future and his Tottenham past after putting pen to paper on a new contract at Bayern Munich, and it's given several outlets plenty to work with.
Goal reports that the Ballon d'Or winner has refused to rule out a Tottenham or rival Premier League return in the future after signing his new Bayern deal, with Kane saying "one day anything is possible" and also setting his sights on the 2030 World Cup (Goal). Spurs Web carries the same message, noting Kane has refused to rule out playing against Tottenham should he ever come back to English football with another club (Spurs Web).
Not everyone is convinced it will actually happen, though. FourFourTwo spoke to a former Tottenham and England player who gave his verdict that he doesn't think Kane will ever return to Spurs, arguing that Bayern Munich have made him "a far better player" (FourFourTwo). That sits alongside Spurs Web's report that Tim Sherwood has revealed what Kane texted him about a possible Premier League return, with the message said to include the phrase "still time" (Spurs Web) - though Spurs Web also reports elsewhere that Kane's "biggest fear" could end up ruling out a Tottenham return altogether (Spurs Web).
Away from the future talk, Spurs Web says Kane has opened up on the "unique and difficult moments" he went through at Tottenham, reflecting on the frustration of repeatedly falling short in the search for silverware during his time in north London (Spurs Web).
There's also a Tottenham academy angle: Spurs Web reports that Kane has been discussing Will Lankshear, the Spurs academy graduate now attracting attention elsewhere, praising what he called the youngster's "goalscoring instinct" while also issuing a word of caution about his development (Spurs Web).
For Tottenham supporters, it's a mixed bag - warm words about the club and plenty of intrigue over whether their record goalscorer could one day pull on a Spurs shirt again, tempered by outside scepticism and Kane's own reflections on how hard those trophy-less years in London really were.
