Harry Kane ‘More Than Welcome’ Back at Tottenham, Says Thomas Frank After Release Clause Revealed
SME News UK. Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has admitted he would be delighted to see Harry Kane return to north London, following revelations that the striker’s Bayern Munich contract includes clauses favouring a Spurs reunion.Kane left Tottenham in the summer of 2023 for a reported £100 million move to Bayern Munich, where he has enjoyed a prolific spell in front of goal. Since arriving in Bavaria, the England captain has netted an extraordinary 98 goals in 103 matches, helping Bayern to a Bundesliga title and the German Super Cup.His most recent outing was another reminder of his lethal finishing ability, as he scored a hat-trick in Bayern’s 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim — his ninth treble in the Bundesliga, moving him to seventh on the league’s all-time list for hat-tricks.Despite his stellar form, reports suggest Kane’s contract contains clauses that could pave the way for a Tottenham return. Bayern are said to have inserted a £67m release clause active in January 2025, which will reportedly drop to £54m in the following transfer window. Spurs are also believed to have ‘first option’ rights, meaning they would have the chance to match any accepted bid.When asked about the possibility of reuniting with the club’s all-time leading scorer, Frank gave a candid response.> “There are a lot of Tottenham fans, including myself, who would like to see Kane back,” he said.“Personally, I don’t think he will do it right now, if I’m honest. He’ll probably stay in Bayern and continue performing well. He was the top scorer last year. He won the title and he’s doing fantastic now. But if he wants to join us, he’s more than welcome.”Kane has started the new season in typically ruthless fashion, scoring 13 goals in just seven games. He also delivered on the Champions League stage with a brace against Chelsea in a 3-1 win, underlining his continued influence against Premier League opposition.However, despite his exploits, Kane missed out on a top-10 finish in the 2024 Ballon d’Or rankings, finishing 13th overall.Kane’s legacy at Tottenham remains untouchable. A product of the club’s academy, he rose through the ranks with loan spells at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City before establishing himself as Spurs’ talisman. By the time he departed, he had scored 280 goals in 435 appearances, making him the club’s record goalscorer.For now, Kane looks set to continue his journey in Munich, but with the release clause in place and Frank’s open invitation, Tottenham supporters can dream of a future chapter for their former No. 10 back in Lilywhite.
