Harry Kane Defends Bayern Move as Michael Owen Doubles Down on 'Nuts' Claim

He left Tottenham in 2023 with 213 Premier League goals, 48 short of Alan Shearer’s record.

Overview

  • Kane said his switch to Bayern was driven by a desire to compete at the highest level, citing big Champions League matches and title races, and added that he is very happy in Munich.
  • Owen originally called the decision “nuts” on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast and argued that winning domestic titles with Bayern offers little achievement, likening it to joining Celtic.
  • In a new interview, Owen reiterated his view that Kane should have stayed in the Premier League, praising the striker but suggesting he may one day regret not pursuing the scoring record.
  • Since moving to Germany, Kane has won the Bundesliga and scored 91 goals in 100 games for Bayern, maintaining elite form after his departure from Tottenham.
  • Reports in England suggest Tottenham included a buy-back or return mechanism in the 2023 deal, keeping open the possibility of a future move back to the Premier League.
