Teddy Sheringham has made a big claim about Harry Kane’s chances of returning to Tottenham Hotspur after the 2026 World Cup.
According to various reports, Tottenham are ready to activate their first refusal clause for Kane if the striker decides he wants to return to the club next summer.
Even Thomas Frank has admitted that he would love to have Kane back at Spurs if the centre-forward decides he wants to come back to his boyhood club.
According to reports from Germany, Kane can leave Bayern Munich for £57m as per a clause in his contract, but he would have to inform the German giants of his decision before the end of January.
Teddy Sheringham claims Tottenham will be the obvious choice for Harry Kane
The Lilywhites will not have a free run at the 32-year-old, with reports indicating that Chelsea and Barcelona will challenge Spurs for Kane next summer if the striker becomes available.
However, Teddy Sheringham believes that returning to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be the obvious choice for the England captain.
The former Spurs striker told Coin Poker: “It’ll be interesting if Harry Kane returns to England. Football can change very quickly, so to say where he could go next at the season is anyone’s guess. Despite his age, he’d still be one of the most sought-after players in world football if he were to become available.
“The way it’s looking for Manchester United, they still could do with a player like him, but I think it’s unlikely that they would get him.
“For me, Tottenham would be the obvious choice. I couldn’t see why the club wouldn’t want him back if that became a possibility, and I’m sure the Spurs supporters would welcome him back with open arms.”
What Bayern Munich and Harry Kane are thinking about the future
Reports from Germany have claimed over recent months that the Bayern hierarchy fears this will be Kane’s final season in Bavaria.
However, sources close to Kane have made it clear that he intends to compete at the highest level for major trophies.
That means that Tottenham may have to show that they can compete for top honours this season to convince their record goalscorer that he can continue winning silverware at N17.
