Football fans work out which country Harry Kane's son was born in amid fears he could play for Germany

Football fans have deciphered where Harry Kane’s son was born amid fears the child could qualify for Germany.

England supporters feared that the Three Lions could one day miss out on a future star to Germany, after Kane’s move to Bayern Munich earlier this month.

Kane, who completed a £100million move to the Bavarian giants from Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago, celebrated the arrival of his fourth child with his wife Kate Kane in a heartfelt Instagram post on Tuesday.

Kane revealed that the latest addition to the family had been born on Sunday and would be named Henry Edward Kane.

According to the Sun, Kane’s representatives have revealed Henry was born in England. Of course, the confirmation comes as eagle-eyed fans spotted clues in the England captain’s snaps that suggested his son was born in the UK.

Supporters that were quick to scour the photos to see if Henry had been born in England or Germany, spotted a UK plug socket in one of the snaps, while the labels on the bed are also written in English.

Kane’s move to Bayern came with his wife Kate heavily pregnant with the couple’s fourth child. It had even been claimed that she had scouted out hospitals in Munich during a house-hunting trip prior to the move, which had England fans fearing the worst.

As per FIFA rules, players can represent their country of birth as well as that of their parents, meaning Henry could have played for either England or Germany had he been born in the latter

Alongside the photos, Kane wrote: "Welcome to the world Henry Edward Kane. 20/8/2023. Love you baby boy!"

Kate has documented the family’s move to southern Germany on her Instagram account, having posted a video of the family of five walking out onto the pitch at the Allianz Arena.

There is also a snap of a heavily pregnant Kate on the pitch alongside her husband, with the pair having met in school.

Kane has quickly adjusted to life on the pitch in Germany, having claimed a goal and an assist in his first start for Bayern Munich in the club’s Bundesliga opener against Werder Bremen.
