From Kane to Osimhen: tracking this summer’s transfer sagas

Harry Kane 

Harry Kane 

The annual saga of Kane’s future has once again reared its head, though this time the dimensions are rather different. The six-year-deal that Kane signed in 2018 was always the ace in Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy’s pack, but as that enters its final year holding on grimly to the club’s prized asset, their best player since Gareth Bale was cashed out a decade ago, becomes less viable. Interest from Bayern Munich, willing to pay £80m to buy a striker to replace Robert Lewandowski and admired by the coach, Thomas Tuchel, at least prevents Kane flourishing at a Premier League rival. Kane is said to be keen but Levy is not known for taking big decisions at anyone’s pace but his own.
