Kane rules out Premier League return
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has ruled out a return to England to break the Premier League all-time scoring record.
Kane was 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s tally of 260 to break the record after scoring 213 goals before leaving the English top-flight in 2023.
He has enjoyed a successful spell in Germany, scoring a whopping 61 goals in all competitions for Bayern Munich last season.
He was handed the golden boot award on Wednesday for scoring the most goals in the Bundesliga last season.
Kane rules out a future return to Germany, revealing that he is settled in Germany.
He said: “When I first left, for sure it was something I thought – I would definitely be coming back. That itch isn’t there as much anymore.
“I am extremely happy here in Munich, it opened my eyes to a totally different world of football outside of England and it has made me appreciate European football even more.
“I just think the team we have here and the manager, my family is really settled here, it is just about being in the best place possible.

“Never say never, but for now I am concentrating on Bayern Munich and we will see what the future holds.”
The former Tottenham star hailed Bayern Munich coach, Vincent Kompany for taking his game to another level.
Kane said: “I think this is the best version of myself for sure. I think last season speaks for itself, from that sense the best season in my career no doubt.
“Since the boss has come in he has elevated my game to another level. That is down to the style of play, the way we attack and the way we defend, the way he gives players freedom to sometimes receive the ball deeper and sometimes arrive late in the box.
“I also had a lot of this and these kind of different positions during my Tottenham career as well, especially from the Mourinho stage onwards, it was the same sort of thing – I had freedom to come deep and get the ball and I had a great relationship with Son Heung-min.
“It has been building but I think this season with the team I have around me, the players we have and the system we play with the coach, it has just elevated me to another level.”
Kane has scored 98 goals in 94 games across three Bundesliga campaigns, and has won three successive Bundesliga Golden Boot awards.
He will be hoping to lead the club to another title when they open their 2026-27 campaign against Frankfurt next Friday.
