Thomas Tuchel is personally driving Bayern Munich’s efforts to sign Harry Kane this summer.
And Bayern believe the Tuchel connection is the key factor in persuading Kane to leave Tottenham - even though Spurs are adamant they will not sell. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is digging his heels in despite Bayern’s huge push to sign the England captain who has just a year left on his contract.
Levy will run the risk of Kane going into the final 12 months of his £200,000-a-week contract - and believes he can even persuade the Spurs striker to sign a new deal. Bayern believe that an offer in excess of £80m will tempt Tottenham rather than run the risk of allowing him to go for free next summer.
