‘Arsenal will buy him!’ - Tottenham legend Harry Kane tipped for controversial transfer as £64m release clause emerges at Bayern Munich

<p>England captain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/meant-bigger-tottenham-harry-kane-former-spurs-team-mate-reveals-bayern-munich-star-outgrow-former-club-england-striker-score-goals-blindfolded/blt0fa4e4c90d451d06" target="_blank">Kane severed career-long ties with Tottenham when heading to Germany</a> in the summer of 2023. He made that move as Spurs’ all-time leading scorer, with 280 goals to his name, and was waved off as a hero as Premier League giants begrudgingly accepted his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everyone-laughing-england-harry-kane-selfish-robert-lewandowski-record-bayern-munich-trophy-bid/blt802d3f428a3edcce" target="_blank">bid to go chasing elusive silverware elsewhere</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

It has been suggested that the 31-year-old may be tempted to return to his homeland once a gold medal has been collected, with there <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/win-trophy-rejoin-spurs-break-alan-shearer-record-ex-tottenham-star-possible-premier-league-return-bayern-munich-striker-harry-kane/bltc72d1cc3d68a2bfd" target="_blank">more history for him to try and make there</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Gunners great told <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1887449875186409945 " target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports News</em></a> after learning of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-power-leave-bayern-munich-shock-release-clause-details-could-lead-to-premier-league-homecoming/blta78211a2faf69f6b" target="_blank">supposed £64m ($79m) clause</a>: “That could be to anywhere? Oh, he'll be going to Arsenal then. Arsenal will buy him! £64million. Why not? Sol Campbell did. I mean, if he's available, you've got to weigh it up. For me, it is [a bargain]. People will go 'Oh, he's this age, he's that age', but Arsenal need now.</p><p>“People have said about [Mohamed] Salah, and I've said I wouldn't give Salah a three-year contract, I'd give him one or two, but I wouldn't give him a three-year contract. But that's different because Liverpool will probably go on to win the league this year.</p><p>“But if Arsenal haven't won the league, you've got to take a chance and find someone who is proven. I wouldn't be surprised. When you've got Harry Kane there and you go 'right, he can go for £64 million', there are only a couple of teams who can buy him. Manchester City aren't going to buy him, Manchester United and what you heard over the [Mathys] Tel situation, that was worrying that they couldn't pay the loan deal.”</p>

WHAT PAUL MERSON SAID

<p>Arsenal remain in the hunt for a proven goalscorer to lead their line, having struggled in the No.9 department for some time. They have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alexander-isak-arsenal-gunners-warned-wont-sign-new-striker-january-premier-league-winning-ex-defender-explains-what-holding-back/blt366078fe73ae914f" target="_blank">linked with the likes of Alexander Isak</a>, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, with any approach for former derby rival Kane feeling unlikely.</p>
