German giants Bayern Munich have agreed a deal in principle to sign Tottenham and England captain Harry Kane for a fee reported by the Athletic to be around £86million.
The England striker has told friends he wants his future to be resolved before a ball is kicked this weekend and he was reportedly left out of Tottenham’s pre-season game to give him rest and clear his mind ahead of Brentford.

The 30-year-old will now have to decide if he will leave the Premier League when he is just 47 goals behind Alan Shearer for a chance to win a Bundesliga title and potentially a Champions League trophy.
New Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has said in the past that he sees Kane as a key member of his team but was not necessarily building a team that relied on only one man, insisting he wanted a unit that worked well together.
He told reporters: “I don’t think in those terms but there’s no doubt that, and I think Harry would say it himself, he wants his team to be successful.

“He would be the first to say that we need a strong team and that’s where my focus is. Building a team will reflect the same sort of individual excellence that he’s had in the team context.
“I’m certainly big on team ethos and making sure we need a strong unit if we are going to be successful and I’m sure that Harry would be the first to voice that needs to be the case.”
Tottenham had in past turned down a similar amount from Manchester City for the striker but with the England striker having just one year left on his deal, it makes sense to see why Spurs will look to cash in at the moment.
