BAYERN MUNICH are “working on” landing Tottenham striker Harry Kane in a blockbuster £90MILLION transfer.
The Spurs striker, 29, is under contract with the North London club until 2024.
However, rumours of a potential departure to the Bundesliga champions have been circulating for some time.
And Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn fuelled that speculation earlier this week when he praised the England captain.
He told Sky Sports Germany: “Kane is very good player, but there are also many other very good players. I’ve read that [gossip] everywhere.”
According to Sky Sports, Bayern are exploring the possibility of a move for Kane.

And a transfer for Spurs’ talisman would reportedly set them back in the region of £70-90m.
But the German giants remain unconvinced a deal could be completed.
Spurs chief Daniel Levy fended off strong interest from Manchester City last year as he kept hold of Kane after a lengthy transfer saga.
Since then, talk of a departure has gone away – particularly following the appointment of manager Antonio Conte 12 months ago.

But now interest from Bayern has led to speculation once more, with Kane expected to make a decision on his future after the World Cup.
And with the forward set to enter the final 12 months of his current deal in the summer, Tottenham may feel now is the time to cash in on their legendary striker.
Kane has netted a breathtaking 261 goals in 408 appearances for the Lilywhites and is just five short of the club record set by Jimmy Greaves.
He also has 51 goals for his country and is only two shy of Wayne Rooney’s record.
Kane has made a superb start to the season for Spurs, registering 13 goals in 22 matches.
But they are already in danger of another trophyless season after falling behind Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race and exiting the Carabao Cup to Nottingham Forest.
Kane is yet to win a major trophy in his career and could leave Spurs in search of silverware.
