Kane is top of the scoring charts in the Bundesliga with 25 goals in the league, but it wouldn’t matter to the English striker if he couldn’t win a league title with the German club. All this uncertainty has opened the door for Chelsea to reunite Harry Kane with his former Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino helped Kane become one of the most prolific strikers in Europe during his spell with Tottenham. The English striker would love to move back to London under a manager with whom he has proven chemistry. Chelsea can also promise a lucrative salary and an attractive project that can satisfy the needs of the English striker. The next four months are crucial for Bayern Munich.
