Eriksen tips Kane for eventual Tottenham return after Bayern success
Christian Eriksen believes Harry Kane’s story with Tottenham is not finished, backing the England captain to one day return to north London despite his prolific spell at Bayern Munich. Kane left Spurs in 2023 and has since delivered goals, trophies, and renewed momentum to his career in Germany.
Kane has quickly become a central figure at Bayern, winning the first silverware of his career last season and continuing to score freely in the Bundesliga. Yet links to a future move back to Tottenham have not gone away, with Eriksen openly admitting he would welcome a reunion.
Now 32, Kane remains under contract at Bayern until 2027 and has scored 19 league goals this season. He has repeatedly underlined his happiness in Munich and has not ruled out extending his stay, stressing that Bayern’s current level makes them one of Europe’s strongest sides.
Life in Germany has offered Kane a different rhythm and challenge, from the intensity of European nights to the weekly atmosphere of the Bundesliga. Bayern, under Vincent Kompany, have set the early pace domestically, winning 13 of their opening 15 league matches to build a commanding lead at the top.
Speaking ahead of Bayern’s Champions League tie with Arsenal last month, Kane described his move as one of the best decisions of his life, highlighting how exposure to a new league and dressing room has helped him evolve. Those comments reinforced the sense of a player settled and thriving.
On the pitch, Kane’s goals have followed a familiar pattern: intelligent movement, ruthless finishing, and decisive moments when Bayern need control. His league tally reflects both individual sharpness and a team built to dominate territory and chances.
Despite that success, the conversation around Tottenham persists. Eriksen, now with Wolfsburg, believes the emotional pull of Spurs could yet draw Kane back. From a fan’s perspective, the Dane views it as a reunion that would resonate deeply with both player and club.
Eriksen and Kane are set to face each other after the Bundesliga winter break when Bayern host Wolfsburg. The contrast is stark, with Bayern cruising at the summit while Wolfsburg hover just above the relegation playoff zone despite a modest upturn before the break.
For now, Kane’s focus remains firmly on Bayern and their pursuit of further trophies. Still, Eriksen’s words tap into a wider belief around Tottenham: that one day, when the timing is right, their greatest modern striker may yet complete the circle and return home.
