Harry Kane set for Bayern Munich medical
England captain Harry Kane has been given permission to travel to Germany to complete a medical with Bayern Munich, according to reports.
It comes following the news earlier on Thursday that Bayern had reached an agreement with Tottenham in excess of £86 million deal to sign the England striker.
Kane has reportedly agreed personal terms on a four-year contract with the German champions, according to The Athletic.
The clubs are reported to have settled in principle on terms for the England captain to move to Bayern after a series of bids earlier in the summer were rejected, according to sources in Germany.
Tottenham are not commenting on the latest reports.
Kane is about to enter the final year of his Spurs contract, meaning he would be free to leave for nothing in 12 months’ time.
Chairman Daniel Levy is believed to value the striker closer to £120 million, but the risk of the club’s star asset departing for free in under a year has underscored negotiations with Bayern.
Kane had reportedly been keen to stay in England in order to pursue Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring record of 260.
He has netted 213 times in the top flight since making his Spurs debut in 2012.
He was the subject of interest from Manchester United earlier in the summer, but the club opted instead to target less costly alternatives in a bid to stay within their transfer budget.
Spurs supporters sang “We
want you to stay” during Sunday’s 5-1 friendly victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, new manager Ange Postecoglou’s first home game in charge.
