Tottenham Return Would Be A Downgrade For Kane – Danny Murphy

Former Tottenham player Danny Murphy has said that he does not see Harry Kane returning to Spurs. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Kane is very comfortable at Bayern Munich at the moment, so he expects the England captain to remain where he’ll be able to compete for the UCL title consistently.

Danny added that while a Spurs return might sound romantic, Kane would be downgrading from Bayern.

His words, “I would think much less. Harry Kane is succeeding where he is at the moment – more than succeeding, he’s flying and scoring a lot of goals. He’s in a team where he thinks he can compete for the Champions League. He’s won his first league title, first trophy.

There is always the family factor. We can never know about how that is. I remember Michael Owen being in Spain and a year in just wanting to come home with the family. We don’t know that side of Kane’s life. But from a football perspective, to go back to Tottenham, there is only one reason he would go back there and that’s because of the fact that the fans love him. In terms of football reasons, it would be to try and break Alan Shearer’s record.

The way he is playing, if he wanted to leave Munich, I think he would have other options where he could go to another club and compete for the biggest honours on the planet – domestic titles and the Champions League. It sounds romantic going back to Tottenham but the reality is that he’d be going there to win a League Cup or an FA Cup. It’s a downgrade. He would be downgrading. His level of performance at the moment, he doesn’t need to.

Yeah, I think so. He’s still absolutely banging in goals, still an absolute threat. The likes of Real Madrid would fit very well, create chances – Barcelona as well – give him that ball in the box and he’s going to score you goals.

He’s the ultimate. Any of those teams that create a couple of chances a game will certainly be looking at him because they know it’s going to be goals every single week. If you put the ball into a certain area, with Harry, he is going to score.”

WOW.
