Harry Kane becomes ‘top priority’ for Bayern who are ‘preparing second offer’ for Tottenham skipper

New boss Ange Postecoglou has had a busy start to life as Spurs gaffer as the former Celtic boss uses the summer transfer window to build his squad for next season.

James Maddison’s £40 million move from Leicester City has been one of the biggest deals so far across the country and now an agreement has reportedly been reached with winger Manor Solomon. Despite that, the biggest ongoing story surrounding the North London club continues to be the future of captain Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich are heavily linked with the striker and reports coming out of Germany suggest a second bid from the Bundesliga champions could happen soon. Elsewhere, back on the recruitment front, Spurs are said to be ‘confident’ of finalising another major deal soon. Here are the latest Tottenham Hotspur transfer news stories on Tuesday, July 4:

Bayern Munich ‘preparing second offer’ for ‘top priority’ Harry Kane

Sky Sports Germany have reported that Bayern Munich are ‘preparing a second offer’ for Tottenham skipper Harry Kane after their initial €70 million bid was rejected. It is claimed that ‘the Englishman has now become a top priority’ for the Bundesliga champions in the summer transfer window.

It is now also reported that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the former Bayern CEO who remains part of the club’s supervisory board, is now actively involved in courting Kane. However, the report also claims that Spurs’ stance on selling their captain remains ‘unclear’ to Bayern who are apparently still the player’s prefered destination.

Tottenham confident of finalising Micky van de Ven deal

Per a report from 90min, Tottenham are edging closer to signing Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven. The two clubs are said to be ‘close to an agreement’ on a transfer fee for the 22-year old.

A fee of £30 million has been reported for the Netherlands Under 21 international who Liverpool were also widely credited with having an interest in. With reinforcements in central defence thought to be a priority for Ange Postecogliu there is also the news that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has stated that he thinks a permanent transfer for Clement Lenglet will be arranged this summer.
