Bayern Munich to step up Harry Kane transfer pursuit after £70m bid was rejected, with two top figures set to fly to London for talks with Tottenham

Bayern Munich will step up their pursuit of Harry Kane with two of their top executives expected in London.

Chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe are set for talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, who is back from the team’s tour of Australia and South East Asia. 

The German champions are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for Kane, who is in the final year of his Spurs contract.

They will have to improve their last offer, which was close to £70million, but the feeling is that Spurs are shifting towards a fee they will accept.

Levy has been told by Joe Lewis, the billionaire in control of the Tottenham empire and facing jail in the US on charges of insider trading, to sell Kane now rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.

Paris Saint-Germain are also interested but Kane, who turns 30 on Friday, is thought to have set his heart on Bavaria if he leaves this summer. 

It may cost him the chance to pass Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record, but Bayern can satisfy his desire to challenge for trophies and play in the Champions League every year.
