    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. More

    Tottenham supporters feared their team has been gamed and shamed – but others reckon the clip might just be a cheeky compilation from a true trailer.

    One asked: “Why is the defence just Tottenham?” – followed by crying emojis.
    But those trailer-trashers were counter-attacked by trolls and lols from opposition supporters.

    Harry Kane has been included in the squad despite reports linking him with a transfer.
    The striker, who has less than a year remaining on his contract, is being targeted by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
    On Thursday, SunSport revealed that representatives from the German side flew to London to hold talks with the Lilywhites this week.
    However, Hugo Lloris will not be involved.

    The goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move away from North London this summer.

    “However, I haven’t forgotten that I have a year left on my contract at Tottenham, and in football, it’s always hard to predict what will happen.
    “The most important thing is I find a project where I thrive.”

    England international Maddison swapped Leicester for London in a £45million move earlier this summer.
    He joins the majority of Tottenham’s first team squad from the 2022-23 campaign, including the likes of Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son.

    Daniel Levy can’t agree to Harry Kane transfer at any price – Tottenham are effectively a one-man team

    WHEN Pep Guardiola called them “the Harry Kane team” in 2017, Spurs fans everywhere got the right hump.It was a harsh assessment at the time and one for which Guardiola subsequently apologised.
    Harry Kane is a transfer target for Bayern MunichCredit: Rex
    This shows Kane’s value to Tottenham
    But, as with so many other things, it turned out that the all-knowing Manchester City boss was spot on.
    Because six years after being written off as a one-man team, that’s exactly what Tottenham are in danger of turning into.
    And that’s why Daniel Levy cannot sell his club’s all-time leading scorer… for any price.
    Perennial German champions Bayern Munich have just bid £68million for Kane with the promise of another £8.8m in potential add-ons, and a delegation flew into London this evening.

    On the face of it, that seems a more than generous offer for a player who turns 30 in a fortnight’s time, has only one year left on his contract and has never won a single trophy in his career.
    But while Levy might be many things, he is not an idiot.
    He knows that even were Bayern to double their offer, it still wouldn’t compensate Spurs for the loss of their once-in-a-generation striker.
    Because for the past nine years Kane has averaged an astonishing 30 goals per season and last season alone scored 42 per cent of all his team’s Premier League total.

    HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL
    Spurs would have been 24 points worse off without Kane’s contribution last season, which would have meant finishing two points above the relegation zone.
    Obviously if he had not been playing, someone else would have taken his place and presumably taken up at least some of the slack.
    Hell, even Richarlison might have managed more than one league goal.
    But the £60m Brazilian’s struggle to make an impact in the No9 shirt explains just why Levy breaks into a cold sweat at the mere thought of life without Kane.
    With the exceptions of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, there is no other player in the world who guarantees as many goals as the prolific England captain.
    And strikers of that extraordinary calibre don’t sign for teams who can’t even qualify for the Europa Conference League.
    Of course Kane will be tempted by Bayern’s interest, just as he was when Guardiola came knocking at his door two years ago.
    With the exceptions of Haaland and Mbappe, nobody else in the world guarantees as many goals as KaneMark Irwin
    He doesn’t want to end his career without at least one major winners’ medal and he knows in his heart of hearts that’s not going to happen with Spurs.
    But for as long as he is under contract, there is nothing he can do to force his way out of the club.
    He isn’t going to go on strike and he’s not the type to rock the boat for new boss Ange Postecoglou.
    So all he can do is threaten to run his contract down and leave as a free agent next year.
    That’s why Levy is trying to play on Kane’s loyalty and will offer him a new deal worth as much as £400,000-a-week.
    If that doesn’t work, he should just bite the bullet, keep Kane for one last season and pray that he can secure a Champions League pay day by firing them back into the top four.
    That’s a hell of a gamble when you consider the teams Tottenham will be up against in the new season.
    But what else can they do when the alternative doesn’t bear thinking about?
    No Kane, plenty of pain.
    FORMULA ONE IS THE PITTS
    PLENTY of eyebrows were raised when Lewis Hamilton declared that he supported peaceful protests by Just Stop Oil.
    Err, the clue’s in the name, Lewis, and if you’re not guzzling gas you’re not getting paid £27million-a-year by Mercedes.
    To be honest, a few protestors on the track might liven up the tedious F1 procession which allows Max Verstappen to lead every race from start to finish.

    The highlight of Sunday’s British Grand Prix involved Brad Pitt cosplaying in the pit lane and Sky’s Martin Brundle confirming that he is the rudest man on TV.
    Yet 480,000 spectators still squeezed into Silverstone over the four day festival despite the eye-watering cost of admission.
    Maybe they’re paying for the chance to breathe the same fumes as Tom Cruise, Cara Delevingne and Romeo Beckham.

    There’s even a suggestion the Blues might send out a sponsor’s logo for the early purchasers to iron onto their hastily acquired kit.
    Alternatively, you could just save your money and not be a full-kit w*****.

    BAIR MINIMUM
    IF the whole point of Bazball is taking 20 wickets as quickly as possible, why are England persisting with Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps?
    Ben Stokes’ loyalty to his fellow ginger nut is commendable but questionable considering Bairstow’s performances in the first three Ashes Tests.
    Ben Foakes is universally recognised as the superior wicketkeeper and it’s not as if Bairstow has been making amends for his dropped catches with a ton of runs with the bat.

    Watch Tottenham star Harry Kane cough and sweat his way through spicy hot wing challenge as he talks about his future

    HARRY KANE coughed and sweated through a hot wing challenge as he was probed on his Tottenham career. The YouTube show Hot Ones sees celebrities interviewed by host Sean Evans as they eat progressively spicier wings and answer progressively tougher questions.

    And given host Sean Evans history of asking tough questions, many were expecting him to ask one or two curve balls about Kane’s Tottenham future.
    But fans hoping for a pairing of hot food and tough questions would have been left disappointed by the video.
    The Spurs forward was not asked any questions about his Spurs future as it hangs in the balance this transfer window.
    Bayern Munich hold a concrete interest in the forward and have already had a bid of around £60million rejected.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    A delegation from the German champions flew into London tonight for talks with Daniel Levy over a potential transfer.
    According to reports in Germany, Harry Kane has already agreed personal terms with the Bavarian club following meetings with Thomas Tuchel and senior club officials.
    PSG are also thought to be readying a bid for Kane as they look to back new manager Luis Enrique.
    Prior to the interview Kane admitted that he “wasn’t great” around spicy food and admitted it “wasn’t something I had a lot”.
    Most read in Football
    The closest Kane and Evans came to talking about the forward’s future was when he was asked about his well-publicised ambition of becoming an NFL kicker after retiring.

    Evans said: “I’m fascinated by your dream to one day be a field goal kicker in the NFL… I’m curious if you sympathise or empathise with the plight of the field goal kicker, a position that naturally lends itself to being defined by its biggest failures and lowest moments?”
    Kane said he sympathised with kickers because their field kicks drew comparisons with shooting from the penalty spot.
    He said: “In terms of specific positions in sport there’s not many roles like the kicker.
    “If you miss one, people will remember that forever so you have to stay good in those moments.”
    He then said: “It’s similar to a penalty, you have the moment to be a hero, or you have a moment to be a villain.”
    Kane famously scored and missed a penalty in England’s 2-1 defeat to France at last year’s World Cup so the comparison may have been a not so subtle allusion to that.
    When asked if he would pursue his goal of being a kicker he said: “We’ll see, maybe.”
    The forward held his own well during the interview, despite the ascending scoville factor of the wings not being in his favour.
    He did cough and splutter at one point, with the forward struggling particularly with a wing topped with ‘Abdoloco’ spice.
    He mentioned that his personal favourite goal was his debut strike for England against Lithuania.
    He said: “I think my favourite goal was my England debut goal, I came on for Wayne Rooney who was someone I looked up to.
    “I remember him running off the pitch and me running on and within three minutes of the game I scored my first goal.
    “The emotion in that moment was just something nice.
    “It was hard to describe, I had all my family there in the stadium, my friends, my wife Kate and to share that moment… I remember it so vividly now.”

    Meanwhile, Tottenham look set to offer Kane a bumper contract to convince him to see out his career at the club.
