Harry Kane has expressed his contentment with life at Bayern Munich, playing down talk of a potential return to the Premier League. After dominating Premier League scoresheets with Tottenham across 11 seasons, Kane signed for German giants Bayern in August 2023. The England captain has sustained his world-renowned scoring ability ever since his near-£80million move by netting 77 goals so far. He hit 100 goal contributions in all competitions during their 3-1 win over St Pauli on Saturday, during which he scored 58th Bundesliga goal. And Kane appears to be more than happy to stay put at Bayern given his response to a question regarding a rumoured comeback in English football. When asked by ESPN if he would consider it, he said: "I'm not sure. I've said throughout my whole career, I'm not someone who likes to think too far ahead. I'm extremely happy here. "I think we have a fantastic team, fantastic coaching staff and I just feel like whilst I feel like I'm in the best condition, I wanna play at the highest level possible, and this is as high as it gets. "So I know a lot can change in football in a short space of time and things can happen, but ultimately my focus is here. "I'm not thinking about any other league or any other team. And with football, I like to just go the flow and at the moment the flow is here at Bayern Munich. " Speaking to talk SPORT, European football expert Kevin Hatchard also cast doubt about the possibility of Kane returning to his homeland. "I can't see it, I really can't, certainly not this summer, " Hatchard said. "He's settled down in Germany, he's learning German, they released a video of that the other day, his German is about on par with mine so we're having a good race in that regard. "If you listen to the way he speaks, he speaks like a leader, he speaks like somebody who's very much ensconced within that group, he speaks as somebody who's very ambitious. "I think he's realised this is an enormous football club and they are going to challenge for the top trophies. "Because this is not the best Bayern team and you've got Vincent Kompany, he's gone there as a bit of a surprise, people didn't necessarily think that was going to happen, but he looks as though he might win the league in the first season. "What's been really interesting about Kompany is that [Jamal] Musiala's signed a new deal, [Alphonso] Davies has signed a new deal, [Joshua] Kimmich signed a new deal, that does not happen probably under Thomas Tuchel, because he ruffled a few feathers. "I think he's brought back that positivity, and then Kane's really thriving. I just can't see why he would terminate that two years in, and Bayern certainly don't want to let him go this summer. " Despite now being 31 years old, Kane would undoubtedly be a coup for any Premier League side should he decide to return. He scored 213 goals in 320 Premier League appearances, putting him second in the all-time charts behind Alan Shearer on 260. Mohamed Salah is the closest active player to him on 184 goals but a potential summer exit from Liverpool may prevent an overtake. Kane won the Golden Boot in three different campaigns at Spurs, although he was never crowned as the Player of the Season. The move to Bayern has only strengthened his status as one of best strikers in football. His 77 goals and 24 assists have come in 83 appearances, which means he averages around 1. 2 contributions per match. All that's left missing on Kane's impressive CV is major silverware, but this looks set to change this season as Bayern battle at the top. They lead the Bundesliga table by six points over Bayer Leverkusen and are in the Champions League quarter-finals against Inter Milan. © 2025 talk SPORT Limited
