Harry Kane has revealed his biggest fear as he enters the final few years of his career, and his revelation may come as a major blow to Tottenham’s hopes of re-signing him.
Spurs’ hopes that their top scorer would one day return to N17 are not completely over, even though he has signed a new deal at Bayern Munich.
According to reports, Tottenham still have a right-to-match clause for Kane, which means that the Lilywhites will be afforded the opportunity to match any future bid for the striker which is accepted by Bayern.
However, the one thing that is clear is that a return to North London is not on the cards anytime soon, with the striker just being crowned the best player in the world and still having his sights set on the biggest trophies in the game.
Kane still has unfinished business of winning the Champions League at Bayern, and the forward has now made an admission which severely diminishes the prospect of a return to his boyhood club.
Tottenham legend Harry Kane admits he fears not maximising his career
Kane has already said that his desire to return to England is not as strong as it was a few years ago, although the 33-year-old did not rule out the possibility of playing in the Premier League again.
The Spurs legend has also opened up on the difficult moments he experienced in North London as he was unable to lift silverware despite consistently delivering for his club on the pitch.

Kane has now revealed that his biggest fear is not maximising his career as he enters the final stretch, with the striker admitting that he does not want to achieve everything he can possibly can before he hangs up his boots.
The Bayern star said (via The Independent): “My biggest fear is finishing my career and thinking I could have done a bit more if I could have just done that or done that. I want to make sure that I cross every bridge so that whenever that day does come, I can say I’ve done everything possible, I have this record, I don’t have this record – but it doesn’t matter, I can sleep well at night.”
Why Kane’s statement could rule out fairytale Spurs return
It is clear from the former Tottenham star’s words that he is focused on collecting as many big trophies as possible in the next few years of his career.
He has already won five in three and a half years in Bavaria and clearly believes he could add to that tally significantly.
Despite the soft spot that the striker has for Tottenham, the reality is that Spurs are never going to offer Kane the best chance of winning the Premier League and the Champions League unless something drastically changes over the next couple of years.
Even if he decides to return to England, one would think that winning the title would be his main aim, and he may feel he has a much better shot at doing that at another club.
