Thomas Frank has given a very interesting response when asked about Harry Kane potentially returning to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to reports, a clause in Kane’s contract allows him to leave Bayern Munich for £57m next summer as long as he informs the Bundesliga giants of his decision in Janaury.
It has been reported over recent months that Kane wants to return to the Premier League next summer after the 2026 World Cup.
Reports from Germany have claimed over recent months that the Bayern hierarchy fears this will be Kane’s final season in Bavaria.
Thomas Frank would love to add Harry Kane to his Tottenham squad
So far in his Spurs career, Frank has refused to discuss players who do not play for Tottenham, but he made an exception in the England captain’s case.
He admitted that he would love to have Kane back at Spurs, but suggested that the 32-year-old may want to remain at Bayern and continue to win titles.
When asked about the possibility of Tottenham’s record goalscorer returning to N17, the Dane said (via Football.London): “I think there’s a lot of Tottenham fans, including myself, who would like to see Kane back. He’s a top player. Personally, I don’t think he will do it right now, if I’m honest, he’ll probably stay in Bayern and continue performing well.
MORE SPURS STORIES
“He was top scorer last year and won the championship, he’s doing fantastic now. I don’t know what he’s thinking. Myself, I’m a traveller, I like to travel, I like to explore things as well. He’s been here for many years so why not enjoy the time at Bayern a little bit more. But he’s welcome. If he wants to join us, he’s more than welcome.”
Frank pleads ignorance about Spure’ Kane clause
It is public knowledge that Tottenham added a first refusal clause when they sold Kane to Bayern back in 2023.
That means that the Lilywhites would have an advantage over other suitors if and when the centre-forward decides to leave the German club.
When asked about Tottenham’s Kane clause, Frank responded: “I didn’t know there was a clause. I see two things, one he is an unbelievable player who did fantastically for Spurs and is doing fantastically for Bayern. Top player.”
