Michael Owen Renews Criticism of Harry Kane’s Bayern Move

The remarks reignite debate over prioritizing Premier League records versus titles won overseas.

Overview

  • Kane’s 2023 switch from Tottenham to Bayern was labeled “nuts” by Owen on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast.
  • Owen argued Kane could have stayed one more season at Spurs to pursue Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring mark.
  • He questioned the practicalities of relocating Kane’s school‑age family to southern Germany for the move.
  • Owen downplayed the significance of winning the Bundesliga with Bayern, likening it to routinely claiming the Scottish title with Celtic.
  • Context from the reporting notes Kane’s prolific return of 91 goals in 100 Bayern games and a Bundesliga title, with Owen also praising him as a lethal finisher under pressure.
