    Fresh transfer rumours regarding Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Kane have emergedCredit: Getty
    He goes into tonight’s showdown against Manchester United at Old Trafford with ten goals and two assists to his name already with Spurs third in the Premier League.
    The 29-year-old tried to force through a move to Manchester City just over a year ago but Spurs dug their heels in and kept their talisman.
    He was then linked with Bayern during the recent summer window, but once again Tottenham refused to do business and insisted that the star was going nowhere.
    However, speculation continues to rumble on over Kane’s future due to his contract ending in 2024.

    He would then be able to move abroad and leave for nothing, which could force Antonio Conte’s side to cash in at the end of this season rather than risk losing him on a free.
    A fresh report from Sky Germany is now claiming that Bayern are ready and waiting to swoop if no new deal is signed as they assessed recent transfer rumours regarding the Bundesliga giants.
    It also adds that Kane could be interested in order to achieve his ambition of winning silverware.
    The superstar, who is yet to make a decision on an extension, was asked ahead of last week’s Champions League match with Eintracht Frankfurt about the Bayern speculation.

    He has already won four Bundesliga titles with the German champions and penned a two-year extension in 2020 to keep him at the club until 2025.
    But according to Marca, Real have identified him as one of their major transfer targets.
    In response to a fan linking fellow Bayern man Joshua Kimmich to Los Blancos, journalist Jose Felix Diaz responded by insisting Davies is a more likely acquisition.
    Speaking on Twitch, he said: “From Bayern, the name they have most in mind is Davies.”

    Jude Bellingham is still thought to be Real’s main target over the coming 12 months.
    And they are also focused on tying existing stars Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos down to new deals.
    But aside from those goings on, Davies is high up on their agenda of potential deals.
    That is despite a turbulent couple of years for the youngster – who can play as a left winger in addition to his usual left-back role.

    Davies, who has been capped 32 times by Canada, suffered an ankle injury in 2020 which kept him out for nearly two months.
    He then contracted Covid at the beginning of this year, with Bayern subsequently discovering he had developed a heart issue – mild myocarditis.
    Then during the Bundesliga side’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund last weekend, he sustained a cranial injury which saw him substituted at half-time.

    Bayern lost Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, and still see Kane as the ideal long-term replacement.
    According to Kicker, club bosses remain adamant that they can sign the England captain from his boyhood club.
    Kane, who netted a penalty in the Three Lions’ 3-3 draw with Germany last night, wanted out of Spurs during the summer of 2021, but is happy again in North London under Antonio Conte.
    His contract at Tottenham expires in June 2024 and the forward is believed to be relaxed about the situation.

    Kicker claim that Bayern have made “gentle” contact with Kane’s representatives in the hope that he won’t extend his stay at Spurs further than 2024.
    Julian Nagelsmann’s side could look to sign Tottenham’s No10 on a free transfer at the end of next season.
    Alternatively, they could try and test their resolve at the end of this season with one year remaining on the contract.
    They managed to pull off a similar deal for Sadio Mane over the summer, when it became clear that the Senegalese ace wanted to leave Liverpool after six successful years.

    Whether Kane would want to move abroad while chasing Alan Shearer’s goalscoring record remains to be seen.
    He has made no secret of his desire to catch the Newcastle legend and is now 71 strikes away from his 260 total – having moved above Andrew Cole into third in the all-time list already this season.
    Speaking about Kane’s future last month, Tottenham manager Conte urged him to extend his stay.
    The Italian said: “My opinion is only one of a million opinions.
    “We are talking about a world-class striker and a player who in this moment is the most representative player for Tottenham. For sure I would like him to sign a new contract.
    “But in this moment, for me it is very important to see him happy, totally involved with this season, totally involved with this project and in what we are doing. For me, this is the most important.
    “Then it’s a decision that the player and the club have to take.”

    Daniel “Ghost” Martins exposed flaws on the website of his beloved Bayern
    The information security expert was rewarded by Bayern for sending them a report detailing problems with their website
    The “ethical hacker” says the German giants didn’t reply to his concerns at first – but in the end were so grateful they gave him a top from their legendary Germany ace Muller.
    Martins, 24, an expert in information security, alerted Bayern when he spotted weaknesses in their official website portal.
    Personal data could have been exposed by the problem.
    Not only that, a configuration flaw in the website servers meant commercial and confidential information about the club could have been breached.

    Martins wrote to Bayern, explaining how vulnerable their website was.
    He said: “As soon as I found the fault, immediately, at dawn, I made a report and sent it to them. 

    “They took a while to fix and didn’t even respond to me at first. 
    “But a journalist from Globo (Daniel Mundim) saw this fact and helped me get in touch with them. Successfully.

    “They corrected it, and as a way of thanking me they sent me a shirt signed by the club’s biggest idol, Thomas Muller.”
    Bayern thanked Daniel for his “true” information and asked to send a gift.
    “Ghost” insisted he hacked their website purely to see if he could help them.
    He said: “Because it is a team that I admire a lot and because I do what I do, I decided to explore the site to somehow help the team. 
    “I explored, and found a vulnerability of the ‘information disclosure’ type, which roughly speaking is a kind of information leak due to bad configuration.
    “Basically it occurs when a site unintentionally reveals confidential information to its users. Depending on the context, sites can leak all kinds of information to a potential attacker.” More

    Following a poor start to the Premier League campaign, a Champions League defeat at Dinamo Zagreb a fortnight ago proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.
    Graham Potter was quickly named as Tuchel’s replacement at Stamford Bridge but the latter is already being linked with a fast return to the dug-out with Bayern Munich.
    However, for the time being at least, the 49-year-old seems happy to remain living in the capital after a photo emerged of him posing with a supporter yesterday.
    An Instagram account named @KarimZahlann shared the photo, with several other Chelsea accounts claiming that the individual was a Blues fan and thanked him for his work at the club before asking for a snap.

    Speculation is mounting that former Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain boss Tuchel could be set to replace Bayern Munich’s Julien Nagelsmann.
    The German champions have suffered a bizarre run of form that sees them go into the international break fifth in the Bundesliga table, five points off the top.

    Their wobble descended into a major blip as they fell to a shock defeat at FC Augsburg over the weekend to extend their winless run in the top-flight to four matches.
    Tuchel has impressed across Europe since leaving Dortmund in 2017.

    And his crowning achievement was undoubtedly taking over at the Blues and winning the Champions League within his first six months in the job.
    But results this season went south as the “devastated” Tuchel was given his marching orders.
    Now he is on the lookout for another opportunity at the top level – which could add extra-pressure on the already struggling Nagelsmann. More
