HARRY KANE has labelled Bayern Munich a “top, top club” amid speculation over a move to the German champions.
The Tottenham striker was heavily linked with a transfer to Manchester City last summer, but Spurs stood firm as he was forced to stay at his boyhood club.
Now just over 12 months on, the England captain is being linked with a switch to Bayern following an impressive start to the campaign.
Kane, whose Tottenham contract expires in 2024, has scored eight goals in 12 appearances so far this season, with only Erling Haaland netting more times in the Premier League.
Earlier this year, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann revealed his admiration for Kane.
And the Bundesliga giants’ CEO Oliver Kahn then described a Kane transfer as a “dream of the future”.

However, the English forward has now played down any chance of a move, albeit while praising Bayern.
Speaking ahead of Spurs’ clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, he said: “I’m focused on Tottenham Hotspur and trying to do my best for us.
“Bayern are a top, top club – but all my concentration is on Tottenham and trying to win tomorrow night.”
Bayern sold Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona in the summer and have lined up with a more fluid front line so far this season.
