Bayern Munich are on the verge of raiding Tottenham again, with Eric Dier poised to move to the Allianz Arena.
But fans online think the Bundesliga giants are signing Dier because Kane is lonely out in Bavaria.
The striker opted to leave Spurs for Bayern back in the summer as he looked to finally win trophies.
Kane has been outstanding in Germany so far, scoring 25 goals across all competitions from just 22 appearances.

The signing of Dier is certainly a curious one.
The defender has stagnated at Tottenham in recent years and struggled for regular action under Ange Postecoglou.
And fans think Kane is 'lonely' out in Germany, which is why Bayern are recruiting Dier.
"You think harry Kane said that he's lonely and wants a friend to come over or he's leaving?" said one user.
"There to make Kane feel less lonely," said a second.
A third said: "Bayern chose to buy Kane an old friend, so he's not so lonely."
A fourth quipped: "It seems like Kane is feeling lonely at Munich and he needs company."
And a fifth remarked: "Translation…. ‘We’re getting him because Harry Kane is lonely and he needs a friend’ it’s the only explanation."
Dier has jetted out to Germany to undergo a medical.
He will challenge the likes of Kim Min-Jae, Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano for a starting berth in Thomas Tuchel's side.
Tottenham are bringing in Radu Dragusin as a replacement as they target a place in the Premier League top four.
And Dragusin's agent, Florin Manea, has admitted he's surprised his client opted to turn down Bayern in order to move to the Premier League.
"This morning, at 8am, the decision was made," he told Romanian outlet GSP.
"We were determined to go to Tottenham, but the offer came from Bayern and we stopped in our tracks.
"I was on my way to the airport. I said we have to think carefully and evaluate it.
