Tottenham Hotspur will take on Bayern Munich in a pre-season friendly this summer and Harry Kane is already looking forward to facing his former club.
Harry Kane has had quite the season for Bayern Munich. He registered 38 goals and 13 assists in all competitions and finally got his hands on a trophy, as Bayern comfortably won the Bundesliga.
While Kane will be delighted to have achieved silverware, the club he left in order to win trophies, are now the Europa League champions. Tottenham ended a 17-year trophy drought in Bilbao and have the chance to compete for the UEFA Super Cup against the winners of the Champions League.
Spirits will therefore be high in both camps, as Spurs travel to the Allianz Arena to face Kane and his Bayern Munich teammates in a pre-season friendly on Thursday, August 7. The sides met twice in pre-season last year, with Bayern coming out on top in both matches.
Harry Kane looks ahead to Bayern Munich vs Tottenham
Kane is looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from his old club and believes the upcoming fixture will be even better, with both sides winning trophies this season.
He told Cleats Club: “It’s obviously still a few months away yet, but it will be great to see some of the guys again – especially after having a couple of successful seasons each, and just to see how they are getting on.
“In our stadium, in front of our fans as well, it will be a great match-up and hopefully a great game.”
This will be the first time Spurs play Bayern at the home of the champions of Germany since the 2019/20 Champions League group stage, a game Spurs lost 3-1.
Could Kane add to his Spurs legacy one day?
Kane has already made history for Tottenham by becoming the club’s all-time top goalscorer. However, some Spurs supporters now believe Heung-min Son is more of a legend at the club, because he stayed to win a trophy.
Yet while Son’s Spurs career looks to be nearing its end, Tottenham have first refusal on Kane and could look to re-sign their former star striker in the future.
Kane seems unlikely to leave his current club this summer, but with the Premier League top scorer record likely still in his sights, a more permanent Tottenham reunion could be on the cards one day.
