      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. More

      But it’s claimed Toure has ruled himself out of contention for Championship side Wigan despite their admiration for his pedigree.
      The Ivory Coast all-time great is now in his first backroom role in England after Spurs officially recruited him in August.
      Tottenham also brought in their former strike hero Jermain Defoe as a coach.
      And Simon Davies, who graduated from Manchester United’s famous ‘class of ’92, was named Spurs’ Head of Coaching Methodology.

      Toure joined as Tottenham’s head coach at Under-16s level.
      But it followed a part-time role for the previous eight months at Spurs while he worked towards his Uefa A licence.
      Toure is well settled in the area – possibly one factor why he’s happy to remain there, for now at least.

      Real Madrid hwere said to be interested in the 30-year-old but president Florentino Perez has been put off by his age and price-tag, according to El Nacional.
      The report has suggested that PSG, however, could use the Qatar World Cup as an opportunity for club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to “try to speak personally with Son” about a move.
      The Ligue 1 club have been interested in Son in the past but opted against going for him, but the uncertainty surrounding Lionel Messi’s future has opened up the possibility of a fresh move.
      The Argentine star’s contract at the Parc des Prince is set to expire at the end of the season and he is yet to commit his future to the club.

      Messi will have plenty of options should he decide against a stay in France, with former clubs Barcelona and Newell’s Old Boys keen on a reunion.
      David Beckham’s MLS franchise Inter Miami has also been linked with a move.
      Should Messi leave PSG, then it could open up a spot in the attack for Son to join the club and line up alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
      However, the report also suggests that PSG will not be the only club in the running to sign Son as it states Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are all interested in him.
