Harry Kane linked with stunning Premier League return and favourites are already emerging for Bayern Munich star

England captain Harry Kane is being tipped to return to the Premier League.

Kane spent the past two seasons with Bavarian giants Bayern Munich, winning the Bundesliga in 2024-25 to finally claim the first trophy of his career.

The 32-year-old has scored 85 goals in all competitions for Bayern and was the top scorer in Germany's top division in both of his seasons at the Allianz Arena as well as the Bundesliga Player of the Season last term.

Tottenham Hotspur and England's all-time record goalscorer joined the North London club in 2004 and scored 213 Premier League goals there in his last ten seasons.

As he prepares to embark on his third season with the champions of Germany, reported interest in bringing him back to England has emerged.

According to The Telegraph the striker could yet end his career with one final transfer back to England.

"There are already industry mutterings that Harry Kane will look to return to England after the World Cup in 2026," reports Matt Law.

"There is a clause in his Bayern Munich contract that reportedly decreases each year and insiders believe the German club may do business next summer."

The transfer agreement that took Kane to Bayern two years ago included a first-option clause for Spurs but the player would need to agree terms for an emotional return.

His former club could face significant competition from within the Premier League.

"There is no fixed fee in Spurs’ first-option agreement, meaning the club would still have to trigger his release clause or negotiate a price with Bayern for Kane," adds Law.

"Despite Tottenham’s first-option clause, sources still believe Manchester United currently provide the most likely destination for Kane if he were to leave Bayern this time next year."

Kane was consistently linked with a move to Man Utd throughout his later years in London.

United's admiration of the England skipper is well documented and Kane's eagerness to win the silverware warranted by his stellar individual records was understood to be pushing him towards a new challenge.

The Red Devils' own travails under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim have given every indication that Kane was right to dodge a club that wasn't likely to be remedied by a new head coach or even a truly elite striker, but it seems the door has not yet been entirely closed.

It has been reported that Kane's release clause will drop to £54 million for English clubs in January.
