Harry Kane Rebuts Michael Owen’s ‘Nuts’ Jibe Over Bayern Move

He says the switch was about competing at the highest level rather than chasing the Premier League goals record.

Overview

  • Speaking before England’s World Cup qualifier against Serbia, Kane said he has no regrets about leaving Tottenham for Bayern Munich in 2023.
  • Kane stressed that careers and motivations differ, citing the appeal of big games, title races, Champions League nights and the Club World Cup.
  • Michael Owen had argued on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast that leaving while close to Alan Shearer’s record was misguided and suggested Bayern titles carry limited credit.
  • Since his move, Kane has won the Bundesliga and continued prolific scoring, with the Mirror reporting 91 goals in 100 games for Bayern.
  • The Mirror also reports Tottenham are understood to have a buy-back clause, though Kane has recently said he is focused on staying with Bayern.
