Bayern Munich continue to be linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane, with a new transfer report claiming that the Bundesliga giants are 'very hot' on the striker.
The Lowdown: Kane wanted by Bayern
The 29-year-old is undoubtedly one of Spurs' greatest players ever, second only to the iconic Jimmy Greaves in their all-time scoring list, so it is only natural that other top clubs would love to have him in their ranks.
Recent claims have suggested that Bayern are the front-runners to acquire Kane's services if he doesn't sign a new deal before its current 2024 expiry date. While the England captain could easily stay put, these exit rumours are refusing to go away.
The Latest: Kane a 'hot topic' at Bayern
According to Sport Bild [via Sport Witness], Kane could be a 'very hot' topic at Bayern next year, as they look for a direct replacement for the departed Robert Lewandowski.
The report also states that the Spurs legend is seen as the Bundesliga champions' 'next transfer coup', with Sadio Mane - signed from Tottenham's Premier League rivals Liverpool this summer - struggling to impress in a central attacking role.

The Verdict: Concerning for Spurs
With every report which emerges, it seems a greater worry that Kane could consider trading Spurs for another of Europe's leading clubs in the near future.
He is a hugely ambitious player who will want to win trophies in his career - something he is yet to do in a Tottenham shirt - and Bayern almost guarantee that every season, having won the last 10 Bundesliga titles in a row.
That being said, Kane could easily extend his stay at Spurs and remain in north London for many more years to come, with the club currently in a good place under Antonio Conte, back in the Champions League and only one point off the Premier League summit.
Ultimately, the decision lies with the player, who will no doubt be weighing up his options ahead of his 30th birthday next year.
