After leaving Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, Harry Kane is about to embark on his third season as a Bayern Munich player.
In total, Harry Kane has now scored 85 goals in 96 appearances for Bayern, and that’s not counting his goal against Tottenham in their recent 4-0 pre-season win.
But at 32-years-old, there’s still the feeling that Kane has unfinished business back in the Premier League.
Kane is yet to break Alan Shearer’s record in the English top flight, but he’ll probably still do so before he retires.
And whilst Manchester United have shown interest in signing Kane if he comes back to England, the Red Devils have now recruited Benjamin Sesko as their long-term starter.
Ian Wright thinks Harry Kane is about to return to the Premier League
That being said, Ian Wright just made a prediction that should therefore be of real interest to Tottenham fans.
Speaking on the ‘Stick to Football’ podcast, the panel were asked to give their hot take or bold prediction for the upcoming season.
And whilst the likes of Wright, Gary Neville and Roy Keane were all trying to be pretty out there with their claims, Jamie Carragher insisted, “you’ve got to believe it.”
Moreover, when it came to Wright, he made the prediction that Kane would return to the Premier League this season.
Wright simply stated: “Harry Kane to come back to the Premier League.”
In surprise, Neville then asked Wright if he expected that to happen in January, once the mid-season transfer window opens.
Wright then replied: “Yeah, I’m going to say yeah.”
Before the summer window started, Daniel Levy was keen to buy a striker for Tottenham – something that is yet to happen.
And therefore Spurs fans would be forgiven for hoping that things might line up nicely at the turn of the year.
Tottenham would be favourites to re-sign Harry Kane if he returned
Of course, there’s nothing to say that Wright can see into the future – only Kane will know what he’s planning to do next.
But if Kane were to return to England, it would currently seem as if Thomas Frank’s Tottenham side would be perfectly positioned to welcome him home.
Man United have Sesko, Manchester City have Erling Haaland, and even Arsenal have signed Viktor Gyokeres.
And whilst Spurs might fear some interest from Chelsea were Kane to make himself available, Tottenham would surely be well ahead in the race.
Perhaps there might be one or two Tottenham fans who feel as if their side would be better off looking to the future, rather than the past, but if Kane became available in January as Wright thinks he might, then it would surely be a no-brainer for Levy.
