Michael Owen Slams Harry Kane's Bayern Move as 'Nuts' in New Remarks

The ex-England striker says leaving Tottenham cost Kane a realistic shot at the Premier League goals record.

Overview

  • Owen renewed his criticism on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, calling Kane's 2023 switch to Bayern Munich "nuts."
  • He argued Kane abandoned a credible bid to top the Premier League scoring list after leaving with 213 goals, 47 short of Alan Shearer.
  • Owen downplayed the weight of a Bayern league title, comparing it to routinely winning with Celtic and saying the scoring record would mean more.
  • Coverage notes Kane has scored 91 goals in 100 Bayern appearances, winning the Bundesliga last season after a trophyless first year.
  • Reports point out Kane's contract runs until summer 2027, leaving open the possibility of a Premier League return later in his career.
