… and the poker continues about Harry Kane (30). Tottenham await next offer from FC Bayern for his striker. England’s captain himself wants to have the issue clarified by the start of the Premier League on Sunday.
A prominent compatriot advises Kane to change. Storm icon and BBC expert Gary Lineker (62) in the SPORT BILD interview!

That’s what Lineker thinks about Kane
“For him it would be a really good move that comes at the right time. He finally needs some trophies in the closet. Harry has had unbelievable bad luck up until now that he simply hasn’t managed to do this over the years. If there’s a guaranteed title in football, it’s the one with Bayern in the Bundesliga.”
But Bayern have to put more than 100 million euros (including bonuses) on the table for this. Too much for a 30-year-old who only has one year left on his contract?
Lineker: “If you have the money and want to spend it on a 30-year-old, there are few better buys than Harry Kane. Because he is an outstanding player and guarantees goals for your team. But he’s not only a goalscorer, he’s also a brilliant footballer. A player like Kane can bring a lot of success to Bayern.”
Lineker is the 4th all-time top scorer for the Three Lions with 48 goals
Would Kane be the right successor for Robert Lewandowski (34/Barcelona)?
Lineker: “Kane would definitely replace Lewandowski in terms of quality and goals. He would increase Bayern’s chances of the Champions League significantly. Kane will make you an instant favorite for the title if he gets his bearings quickly.”
Lineker was an England striker himself and played for Tottenham and Barcelona, among others. A move to Bayern never came about. In 1987, his then teammate at FC Barcelona, Mark Hughes (59), moved to Munich.
Lineker: You probably didn’t think much of me. I don’t know it. I think they signed the wrong guy back then… (grins).”
