Harry Kane. The greatest goalscorer in Tottenham Hotspur history. Perhaps their greatest ever player too.
The prolific striker left Spurs behind in 2023, finally departing after scoring a swashbuckling 280 goals in 435 games for the Lilywhites.
For too long, Kane had failed to win a trophy, to pick up an award that his performances for well over a decade deserved.
That curse continued during his first campaign in Germany. Now of Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen topped the German heavyweights' monopoly on the title.
Kane's first piece of silverware finally came last term, his side victorious in the league. England's greatest centre-forward has his major trophy, he can rest easy.
However, might there be thoughts of returning to Spurs?
Spurs targeting £86m Harry Kane alternative
Reports emerged late last month that Spurs were ready to launch a move to re-sign their former talisman if given encouragement on the player side.
Kane's contract in Munich ends in 2027 and there is a release clause of £56.7m in his terms that could reportedly be activated at the end of the current season.
Sadly for those of a Tottenham persuasion, a move looks to be unlikely. Speaking to the press this week, Kane revealed that he could definitely see himself remaining in Germany.
"In terms of staying longer I could definitely see that. I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation. Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes, what we achieve together. We are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else."
With that move off the table, if Spurs have desires of improving their forward line, something they need to do given the injury-prone Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, an alternative will be required.
Reports from Spain this week suggest that Porto striker Samu Aghehowa could be that man.
Indeed, it is claimed that Spurs are one of the major contenders to sign the Spanish striker in 2026, but they do face a few obstacles.
The first is Samu's £86m release clause. The second is competition from further Premier League clubs, primarily Aston Villa and Newcastle.
His former club, Atletico Madrid, are also keeping a close eye on his development, perhaps regretting the decision they made to sell him to Porto.
Why Samu is such an exciting striker
Kane is the best goalscorer Spurs have ever seen, but he's remarkably taking his game to new heights since moving to Germany.
Last term, the England international bagged 41 goals in 51 games. This season, he's in the form of his life, netting 18 times in ten outings. It's Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo levels in their pomp.
Such form has seen calls for Kane to win the Ballon d'Or, but as the player himself has admitted, he may well need to win the Champions League or World Cup to be in the conversation. Wouldn't that be something, eh?
Despite that, Kane is now 32 and while he only looks like he's getting better in front of goal, there is no resale value here for Spurs and you do have to doubt just how long he will be able to do it at this rate of knots.
Spurs fans will no doubt lust after his return to north London but it's not exactly a signing for the future. Samu, however, certainly would be.
He's no mug in front of goal either. Just 21 years of age, the Spain international scored on 27 occasions in 45 fixtures throughout 2024/25.
The young attacker has been similarly rampant this season, scoring five goals in eight fixtures. As European football expert, Zach Lowy, has alluded to, Samu "has everything it takes to be one of the best strikers in Europe."
Lowy mentions that while Porto's star man is certainly still "rough around the edges" at his age, he holds the ball up brilliantly and chases the ball down "like a madman".
Combine that with his ability to score goals on a regular basis and you have a complete package ready to take one of Europe's top five leagues by storm.
There is a reason Chelsea nearly signed him too. They've been busy hoovering up some of the best young talent in the world in recent years and had agreed a deal worth £35m before the move collapsed. That could be to Spurs' gain if they do seal Samu's signature next year.
Some might be concerned about the fact that the striker is unproven in a major league. Viktor Gyokeres has had an indifferent start at Arsenal since swapping the Portuguese top-flight for the Premier League.
He was more prolific than Samu, too, notching 54 goals last season, but it's key to remember that the Spurs target is younger. His future in the game looks immense and while it's a stretch to suggest he'd replicate Kane, he can certainly help them forget about making a move for a player who will be in his mid-30s by the time his contract in Germany expires.
Samu, on the other hand, will still only be 23. He has the world at his feet and he's ready to dominate European football for years to come.
