The 30-year-old is edging closer to a move away from the Premier League

Bayern Munich have reportedly agreed a transfer deal with Tottenham for striker Harry Kane.

The 30-year-old has just 12 months left on his Spurs contract, meaning he'd be entitled to leave for nothing in a year.


Earlier in the week, Bayern had a third bid for Kane rejected.

Yet The Athletic say the Bundesliga giants have now had an offer in the region of £94.5million accepted, with the player now set to make the final decision.

The 30-year-old has wanted the situation resolved before Tottenham's first game of the new Premier League season, with the club due to lock horns with Brentford on Sunday.

The England international has reportedly been enjoying his time at the club under new manager Ange Postecoglou.

And it's even claimed that Kane has been leaning towards staying.

Right now, it's unclear how the forward will react with Bayern now confident of landing their man following a prolonged summer saga.

Tottenham want to keep hold of their talisman but, with no Champions League football to offer right now, could have their work cut out.

Kane is yet to publicly speak about his future.

However, it's believed the player has been open to all possible outcomes despite previously eyeing a move to Manchester United.

Should Kane leave Tottenham, that will be a substantial blow for the club just days before the new season.

Reports have said Spurs are unlikely to land a world-class replacement for Kane.

Instead, they're poised to place their faith in Richarlsion - despite the player struggling following his move to the club from Everton last summer.

Kane could become the latest English player to strut their stuff for Bayern, joining a two-man club in the process.

Owen Hargreaves joined the Bundesliga titans at the age of 16 and was part of the side that won the Champions League in 2000.

As a result, he's one of only two English players to have won the trophy with an overseas club.

Omar Richards is the second English star to have donned the Bayern jersey, having joined the club from Reading in May 2021.

Whether Kane makes the move remains to be seen but all signs currently point to the striker jumping ship.

Speaking before news of Tottenham accepting an offer for Kane broke, meanwhile, former Arsenal star Paul Merson said Spurs would be bottom half if the England skipper goes.

"Will this Tottenham team get in the top four next season? I'd be shocked," he said.

"So it's not like you're keeping him and definitely getting in the top four, so whatever we lose by selling him, you're making it back in the Champions League. That isn't going to be the case."

He added: "Kane scored 30 goals last season and Spurs finished nowhere near.

"You feel sorry for Ange Postecoglou, but you're talking about a team who might, might, get in the top four if he stays, then a team who doesn't get in the top half if he leaves.

They're 100 per cent a bottom half team if he leaves. Who is going to get the goals? They finished eighth last season. I like James Maddison, he's a good player. But Leicester got relegated.
