Tottenham Hotspur are embarking on a new chapter in their history, as they hired Thomas Frank this summer and made two of their three most expensive transfers in history in Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons. And then shortly after the transfer window ended, they finally parted ways with chairman Daniel Levy.
Spurs also waved goodbye to the biggest legend in their club's history, as Son Heung-min rode off into the sunset after securing a historic Europa League title. He will finish up his career in MLS with LAFC, reuniting with another Spurs legend in Hugo Lloris.
But on the subject of Tottenham legends and reunions, perhaps the biggest name possible could be headed back to North London next year. German journalist Raphael Honigstein recently stated on the talkSPORT show Hawksbee and Jacobs that those in German footballing circles feel as though Harry Kane will leave Bayern Munich before his contract runs out in 2027.
Honigstein says that Bayern are prepared for the possibility of Kane leaving before summer 2027, and that is partially why they acquired Nicolas Jackson this summer transfer window on loan with an obligation to buy from Chelsea. He further highlights their interest in other strikers as a sign that Bayern are already tacitly acknowledging Kane will depart and are preparing replacement options.
Tottenham still need attacking firepower
Naturally, Tottenham fans have taken interest in Honigstein's words and are reading the tea leaves themselves. Spurs showed interest in strikers at the beginning of the transfer window and eventually circled back to Randal Kolo Muani, acquiring the former Bundesliga star from PSG on a one-year loan deal with no possibility to buy.
It is unlikely Kolo Muani has a long-term future at the club, and although recent striker signings Richarlison and Dominic Solanke are quality footballers, neither have adequately replaced Kane since his departure to Bavaria. And at this point, neither have shown they are capable of being long-term solutions and stars for Tottenham as they push for true Premier League title contention in the post-Daniel Levy era.
So a dream reunion with Kane next year is entirely on the table. Tottenham will still be in need of a striker, Kane may be interested in heading out after winning the Bundesliga last season, and Bayern may be ready to cash in their chips and look for a more long-term solution at striker alongside Jackson. Kane to Tottenham would also make senes for both parties, as the legendary striker's exit from his beloved club was also tied to the fatigue of working under Levy and his miserly ways.
