      Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a move to North London but a new report claims the club also have their eye on Ferguson.
      According to TEAMtalk Spurs have enquired about the youngster’s availability.
      But their approach is set to be rejected as the Seagulls have no interest in selling Ferguson, who scored six goals in debut Premier League season last term.
      Ferguson’s fine form was rewarded with a new long-term contract in April, tying down the Republic of Ireland international until 2028.

      But that has not deterred Spurs interest as they view the 18-year-old as Kane’s long-term successor.
      Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker is also a big fan of Ferguson and tipped his former club to sign the striker.
      He said: “Evan Ferguson scores in Fergie time. He’s a born goalscorer.
      “If I was in charge of recruitment at @SpursOfficial I’d take a punt on him as Kane’s replacement. Apologies to @OfficialBHAFC fans”.

      Harry Redknapp: Harry Kane would have turned Man Utd into title winners – I cannot believe they didn’t go in for him

      by

      I’M still in complete shock about Harry Kane.First of all, because I was so bullish that there was no way he would go to Bayern Munich.

      But also because I cannot believe that someone in the Premier League, especially Manchester United, didn’t go for him.
      If Man United have got ambitions of winning the Premier League, he’s the one who could have made the difference for them.
      United have spent £60-70million on a young centre-forward, Rasmus Hojlund, and they don’t even expect him to be in the team for a while.
      At that price you’d expect him to come in and set the world alight!

      Then Liverpool and Chelsea are ready to pay £100m for Moises Caicedo, a defensive midfield player who doesn’t make or score goals, someone who breaks the play up, makes tackles and gets around the pitch.
      Players like that, who do a dog’s job in midfield and let people around them play, used to be two a penny. Now they’re £100m.
      For that money you want someone who can create and do something special. Someone like Harry Kane.
      I really think he could have tipped the balance for United.

      Maybe Daniel Levy just wouldn’t sell to another English team — that’s the only explanation that makes sense to me.
      From a Tottenham point of view, it’s really tough.
      I was at a golf day as it was unfolding and there were a lot of Spurs fans there. They are gutted.
      “They were hoping they would get at least another year out of Harry and dreaming that he might then decide to stay for the rest of his career.
      But Daniel clearly thought the best thing for the club was getting £100m for a player who could leave for nothing next year.
      Harry is irreplaceable — but somehow Spurs have to replace what he brought to the team.
      They must recruit better than they have recently — and better than they did after selling Gareth Bale.
      If Man United have got ambitions of winning the Premier League, Kane’s the one who could have made the difference for them.Harry Redknapp
      Of all the players they bought with the Bale money, only Christian Eriksen was a real success.
      In the last few years, they’ve bought bit-part players who haven’t stamped their mark on the team. They have to shop in a better market.
      It’s tough for Ange Postecoglou. But he said that he always knew Harry leaving was a possibility, so you would hope the club at least have a shortlist of strikers.
      The trouble is, where do you find them?
      By going to Bayern, Harry is clearly putting team success over individual awards, like breaking the Premier League goalscoring record.
      Alan Shearer will be well pleased, anyway.
      Bayern are getting the perfect professional.
      When I was at Spurs, I’d be lying if I said we thought Harry would become what he is.
      We reckoned he could be a player but not the England captain, a superstar and the best centre-forward in the country, maybe the world.
      United have spent £60-70million on a young centre-forward, Rasmus Hojlund, and they don’t even expect him to be in the team for a while. At that price you’d expect him to come in and set the world alight!Harry Redknapp
      I remember him playing in a behind-closed-doors reserve game against Birmingham.
      Arsenal were looking to buy Scott Dann from Birmingham and came over for a final watch.
      I think Harry scored four goals and destroyed Dann — who didn’t end up signing for Arsenal.
      Afterwards, Frank Lampard senior went up to Harry and told him he liked him as a player but maybe he should work on his pace.
      Frank advised Harry to get some running spikes and do some sprinting, saying it would give him an extra yard.
      Read More on The Sun
      The next time I saw Harry he had some spikes.
      That dedication, that desire to improve, that love of the game are what have made him into a £100m player. More

      Gary Lineker identifies Harry Kane’s transfer replacement for Tottenham and apologises to Premier League rivals

      Ferguson has been briefly linked with an exit from Brighton this summer following his six goals in 19 appearances last season.
      And he got on the score sheet again in Brighton’s 4-1 victory over the Hatters’ on Saturday.
      A long ball in behind Luton’s defence found Pervis Estupinan who then squared the ball across the face of goal for Ferguson to tap home.
      And as the Trish teenager inflicted more misery on Luton, Lineker took to Twitter to sing his praises.

      The Match of the Day presenter tweeted: “Evan Ferguson scores in Fergie time. He’s a born goalscorer.
      “If I was in charge of recruitment at @SpursOfficial I’d take a punt on him as Kane’s replacement. Apologies to @OfficialBHAFC fans”.
      Former Brighton player Glenn Murray has previously insisted that Ferguson has the ability to reach Kane’s level one day.
      Tottenham are on the hunt for a new striker as the England captain completed a £104million move to Bayern Munich just two days before their opening Premier League game.

      In an interview before Kane’s exit, Lineker urged Spurs’ record goal-scorer to leave Tottenham, stating “the time is right for him”.
      If Spurs do move to sign Ferguson in the near future, they’ll face huge competition, with Manchester United previously interested.
      Brighton are set to lose more talent to the traditional ‘Big Six’ with Moises Caicedo likely to follow Alexis Mac Allister out of the club.
      Ferguson’s contract at the Amex expires in 2028. More

      Fans convinced Eric Dier is forcing Tottenham exit as he unfollows Spurs and removes all mention of club on Instagram

      by

      TOTTENHAM fans are convinced that Eric Dier is set to leave the club after he unfollowed the club on Instagram and removed all mention of Spurs from his profile.With captain Hugo Lloris frozen out and vice captain Harry Kane leaving the club for Bayern , there was speculation that Dier might step into the role.

      But new manager Ange Postecoglou has named Son Heung Min as captain, with Cristian Romero and James Maddison as his assistants.
      That led to fans on Twitter peculating that Dier had lashed out after being snubbed for the captaincy.
      One fan tweeted: “In other news. Eric Dier has unfollowed Spurs and removed all Spurs related headers on his Instagram profile.
      “Might mean nothing at all but could mean something. Is he off? Has he thrown a tantrum because he’s not going to be captain?”

      Another Spurs fan replied: “Never mind captain, he’s not in the squad I’d say.”

      A fourth fan wrote: “Reckon hes been told he wont be Captain and that in fact we may sell him as we look to bolster the defence.

      “He’ll know what rumours would spread from doing such a thing.”
      Dier has just a year remaining on his Spurs contract and had looked set to sign an extension last season.
      A severe dip in form during the season run-in looks to have left the club with cold feet however and there is no deal on the table as of right now.
      The Spurs defender has responded to the backlash by following the official Spurs account on Instagram and posting a series of photos to his story of him working hard in training. More

      Harry Kane is right to leave Spurs for Bayern – he will win trophies, make history and can still break Shearer’s record

      by

      HARRY KANE certainly took his time, not that Bayern Munich or Tottenham fans were thanking him for it.But the England captain, who finally put Spurs fans out of their misery after the confirmation of his transfer, has clearly delivered the right decision to move to Bavaria.

      It should be an exciting chapter of a fine career which, so far, has yielded lots of goals but not a single trophy.
      Once the clubs agreed a fee of over £100million, both sets of supporters would have thought it was deal done.
      So everyone in Germany, including Bayern themselves, were left totally baffled as the transfer suddenly stalled.
      Tottenham fans were hoping that maybe after all, their all-time goalscorer, who has been with the club since he was 11, was ready to stay for at least one more season.
      READ MORE ON KANE
      Officials at Bayern could not understand any of this. Talks with Kane’s family that had gone so smoothly yet all of a sudden, there was a chance that their no 1 target was about to slip through the net.
      Equally, Kane’s wife, Kate, has also been spotted in Munich looking at homes so none of this last made any sense.
      Ultimately, the delay was because Kane’s father Pat, and brother Charlie, were looking to sort out the final financial details.
      Kane has always loved a statistic and much has been made of his desire to beat Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record.

      With 213 goals from 320 games, Kane needs just 48 more to break Shearer’s record.
      Yet considering his fitness record these days, he could still have a couple of years at Bayern and return home and break the record in any case.
      But equally, Kane will now absolutely love the chance to write his name into history at a club with a long tradition of fine number 9s which includes Gerd Muller, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Robert Lewandowski.
      Kane’s only mistake was not leaving Tottenham sooner, although he did post an emotional goodbye to the club’s fans on social media.
      A few Spurs fans are feeling let down and angry that he has left but the vast majority are not blaming Kane for leaving because he has given everything for the club. 
      Instead, the supporters’ anger is being directed at chairman Daniel Levy for completing the deal so close to the start of the season. 
      Instead, Kane is joining one of the biggest clubs in the world where he will finally collect some trophies.
      He will also have a chance of winning the Champions League whereas had he stayed at Spurs, he would have spent his midweeks watching the games on TNT Sports.
      There is a sneering attitude in England at Bayern because of their dominance of the Bundesliga after 11 successive titles.
      But let’s not forget Manchester City are threatening the same kind of dominance over here. Also, the Bundesliga is a terrific division packed with great clubs who boast some major footballing history. The total opposite to Saudi Arabia. 
      Germany has the highest attendances in Europe and Kane will experience a better atmosphere at the stadiums than in England.
      Bayern have been crowned champions of Europe on six occasions, three times this century and most recently three years ago.
      As a result, Kane will now come under enormous pressure to help Bayern once again win the Champions League.
      And maybe it is written in the stars that Kane could feature in next year’s June 1 final . . . at Wembley.
      After then, we will move on to Euro2024 in Germany. Kane will now be able to give the Three Lions squad some info on the grounds as he will have played at all of them.
      Equally, England boss Gareth Southgate will not be too upset that Kane has decided to move away from England.
      With Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid, it is incredible that the nation’s best two players will not be featuring in England but instead, will be playing each week for two of the world’s biggest clubs.
      Read More on The Sun
      And while this is not great news for the Premier League, it will be fascinating for those who love their European football to see how Kane – and Bellingham – progress in the next 12 months.
      As for Kane,  he will just continue to be an absolute nightmare for opposing defenders. He scored 30 goals in an ordinary Spurs side last season, so place your bets, please, on how many he gets for Bayern.

      Harry Kane’s wife Kate joins star in Germany after Wag spent time ‘hunting for houses & schools for their three kids’

      by

      HARRY Kane’s wife Kate Goodland has joined her husband in Germany after she spent time hunting for houses.The striker flew into Germany alongside his childhood sweetheart this afternoon to complete his £104million Bayern Munich transfer.
      Harry and his wife Kate today arrived in Munich
      His wife was last month reportedly spotted house hunting
      Kane looked excited ahead of his switch to Bayern Munich
      It comes after Kate, who he married in 2019, was last month reportedly in Munich to explore international schools and properties in the district of Grunwald in Bavaria.
      The couple currently has three children together, Ivy, Vivienne Jane and Louis.
      However, three will soon be four as the pair have announced that they are expecting a fourth child.
      Harry met Katie, a fitness instructor and sports science graduate, while they both attended Chingford Foundation School – the same school as David Beckham.

      After landing today Harry was escorted to what is believed to be a hospital, where he was mobbed by welcoming fans.
      The striker is set to undergo a medical before finalising his switch to the German champions.
      The deal agreed between the clubs will see Spurs receive an initial fee of £86m plus easily attainable add-ons to round it up to £104m.
      It was then up to Kane to decide his future with only one year remaining on his contract – and up until Thursday afternoon, the forward was believed to be keen on staying in North London.

      But late on Thursday night, the England captain opted to move to Germany and agreed personal terms, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
      Kane, 30, is understood to have penned a four-year deal worth £415,000 a week – more than double his Tottenham earnings.
      SunSport understand Bayern believe the transfer will be officially confirmed within 24 hours.
      Kane has just one year left on his current Spurs contract and had rejected a £400,000-a-week extension earlier this summer.
      Bayern had multiple bids rejected by Tottenham before finally settling on a fee, but they were at risk of having their deal hijacked.
      Reports claimed Kane had been offered a “significantly better” contract to sign as a free agent next year by an unnamed club. More

      That, according to reports, was because Spurs had a change of heart over the fee and demanded an extra £6m.

      Kane will leave Tottenham 47 goals shy of making the Premier League’s all-time goalscoring record his own.
      Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer holds the record having found the back of the net 260 times.
