HARRY KANE will join Bayern Munich this summer, according to ex-Arsenal star Lukas Podolski.
The Tottenham striker, 29, has been strongly linked with the German giants, who are confident they will sign him.
Kane is into the final year of his contract with Spurs, causing speculation about his future in North London.
According to Podolski, the England star will join his former club Bayern before the transfer window closes.
Asked whether Bayern will complete the deal, he told Sky in Germany: “I think so.
“When Uli Hoeness makes a statement like that, there’s something behind it. He is a man of clear words.”

Podolski also added: “For Bayern, Harry Kane is the only striker who can really help them.
“He’s at the right age, the classic No9 and he scores the goals – a player who fits perfectly to Bayern.”
Honorary Bayern president Uli Hoeness is equally confident his club will sign the Premier League icon, amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
He previously told Sport1: “Harry Kane has clearly signalled in all conversations that his decision stands – and if he keeps to his word, then we’ll get him, because then Tottenham will have to buckle.”

Talks are understood to have taken place between the player and both clubs, although Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is less convinced.
Responding to Hoeness’ comments, Postecoglou said in a press conference: “If other clubs want to talk about our contracted players, that’s more of an issue for them than us.”
Manchester United are also reportedly interested in Kane and could move to sign him for free next summer.
Spurs themselves are already preparing for a potential exit, having identified Dusan Vlahovic as a possible replacement.
The Serbian is up for sale at Juventus, who have valued him at £77million.
