Harry Kane Eager for Emotional Reunion as Bayern Face Tottenham This Summer
It’s not every day that a footballer gets the chance to face his former club under such meaningful circumstances. But that’s exactly what’s ahead for Harry Kane, as Bayern Munich prepare to take on Tottenham Hotspur in a high-profile pre-season friendly on August 7 at the Allianz Arena. And Kane is already looking forward to what promises to be a very special occasion.
Having left Spurs in 2023 in search of silverware, Kane finally saw that dream come true in his first full season with Bayern, lifting the Bundesliga title and delivering a remarkable 38 goals and 13 assists across all competitions. It was a season that vindicated his decision to move, proving that the England captain still has what it takes at the very top level.
But while Kane was celebrating in Munich, his old club also found glory—ending a 17-year trophy drought by lifting the Europa League in Bilbao. It’s an achievement that has given Spurs fans a renewed sense of pride, and for Kane, it adds an extra layer of significance to their upcoming reunion.

Speaking about the match, Kane expressed genuine enthusiasm: “It’s obviously still a few months away, but it will be great to see some of the guys again – especially after having a couple of successful seasons each. Just to see how they’re getting on. And in our stadium, in front of our fans, it’ll be a great match-up and hopefully a great game.”
This will be the first time Tottenham return to Bayern’s home ground since their 3-1 loss in the 2019/20 Champions League group stage. But this time, the mood is different. Both clubs are riding high after recent successes, and there’s a sense that this isn’t just a warm-up—it’s a celebration of progress and a look into what could be a thrilling new chapter for both sides.
For Kane, it’s also a moment of reflection. While he’s etched his name in Spurs history as their all-time leading goalscorer, some fans now see Heung-min Son as the ultimate club legend for staying and finally delivering silverware. Still, Tottenham retain first refusal on Kane should he decide to return to the Premier League, and with the all-time league scoring record still within reach, many wonder if a fairytale homecoming could be in the cards.
For now, Kane is focused on Bayern’s continued growth, including welcoming new teammate Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen—whom he called “a great signing.” But come August, emotions will be high as he stands across from familiar faces, not just as an opponent, but as a former captain and club icon.
The reunion may be brief, but its emotional weight will be felt by players and fans alike. One thing is certain—this is more than a friendly.
