Bayern Munich are reportedly weighing up a blockbuster move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane next summer.

The Bavarians recently sounded out a potential approach for the England captain, 29, following Robert Lewandowski’s departure for Barcelona.

A deal failed to materialise, leaving Julian Nagelsmann without an out-and-out No9 leading the line this term.

Yet German outlet Bild claim Bayern remain interested in Kane, who has yet to agree a new contract.

With his current deal expiring in 2024, the Bundesliga champions believe they can force Spurs into agreeing to his departure in a year’s time.

But it remains to be seen whether Kane would be keen on the move as he is said to be happy with life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since Antonio Conte’s arrival.

Despite that, uncertainty over his long-term commitment remains, with Conte admitting the club would like him to sign an extension.

Speaking last week, the Spurs boss said: "You know we are talking about an important player for Tottenham. 

"And the desire of everybody into the club is [for Kane] to continue to stay with Tottenham, to sign a new contract."

With a major trophy still eluding Kane, the lure of joining a club guaranteed to challenge for top prizes could prove impossible to turn down.
