Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a positive update should they wish to pursue a transfer for Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane in the near future.
Kane came through the ranks at Spurs and became a club legend, having become the north London side's all-time leading goalscorer. However, after accomplishing this achievement, the centre-forward and England captain chose to move on to pastures new in a bid to win silverware.
After having a move to the Premier League blocked by former chairman Daniel Levy, Kane managed to make the switch to Bayern, where, on the second attempt, he managed to win the Bundesliga. The striker has been a revelation in Bavaria with 91 goals in 100 appearances for the club.
He has started this season well too, scoring six goals already in all competitions. But there is a lingering sense that Bayern may look to sell Kane back to a Premier League club next summer, considering that his contract expires in 2027.
Such a move would allow Kane the opportunity to break Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goalscorer record and give him the chance to potentially play for Spurs once more. Speaking recently to talkSPORT, German football expert Raphael Honigstein suggested that it was no secret at Bayern that Kane would look to end his career back in England.
He added that it currently seemed unlikely that the 32-year-old would stay beyond his 2027 deal and that the club are already looking towards the future. Vincent Kompany signed Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window.
Honigstein was keen to point out that currently there were no plans for Jackson to replace Kane permanently and that he joined as an understudy to the Englishman. But whether he is seen as a future plan once the striker leaves remains to be seen.
All of this will be music to the ears of Spurs fans who would love nothing more than to see their club legend return at an age where he could still score consistently. Levy claimed shortly after Kane left that Tottenham had some sort of buyback clause in the deal.
It is believed that Tottenham would have the opportunity to match a bid from any other club that attempts to sign Kane in the future.
