Harry Kane has shared his thoughts on whether he will return to Tottenham Hotspur amid reports suggesting that the Premier League club are keen on bringing him back next summer.

Kane started his senior career with his boyhood club,Tottenham, in 2009 and was loaned to four different clubs from 2011 to 2013. The England national team captain parted ways with Spurs in 2023 and joined Bayern Munich on a four-year contract.

During his 14-year tenure at Tottenham, Kane became the club's all-time top goalscorer as well as the Premier League's second-highest all-time goalscorer.

The Spurs' legend left the north London side after making 435 appearances for the club, during which he netted 280 goals and provided 63 assists.

Despite these achievements, the only blemish on Kane's time at Tottenham was that he was unable to claim any silverware with the English club.

Kane continues to be as impressive with his efforts and contributions on the pitch at Bayern, and lifted his first major trophy with a club after winning the 2024–25 Bundesliga.

Several reports have suggested that Tottenham have a buy-back clause in Kane's contract with Bayern that would become active from January 2026, prompting rumors of the 32-year-old star's possible return to Spurs.

Now, Kane, whose current contract at the German giants is set to expire in June 2027, has revealed whether he plans on returning to Tottenham.

What did Tottenham legend Harry Kane say?

Kane candidly admitted that he is unsure of rejoining Tottenham, while mentioning that he is currently 'very happy here in Munich,' and told the Daily Mail,

"I'm not sure (if I'll go back), I'm very happy here in Munich. It's not something I'm thinking about. It'll always be "we" (with Spurs) because I spent my whole life there. I'm a fan of them and will always watch them and see how they're getting on. They will always be a part of my life for sure but as for now, I'm loving it here," as per GOAL.

Kane also spoke about Tottenham ending their 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League title last season and added,

"It was great to see (them win a trophy this year). I've got a lot of friends there with the players and staff. We know how long we waited and how close we'd come in the past so it was big for everyone - the fans, the club and all involved to have that feeling and get that one over the line. That's always important and hopefully they can push on and win more."

Tottenham are currently third in the Premier League table with 14 points in seven matches and will be looking to climb up the ranks in their upcoming match against Aston Villa on October 19.
