Harry Kane is having fun breaking records in Germany with Bayern Munich.
However, former teammate Christian Eriksen wants the England captain to return to Tottenham for a “special reunion”.

Kane is in the midst of another stunning Bundesliga season following his move to Bayern.
The 32-year-old has scored 30 goals in 25 appearances and Bayern lead Borussia Dortmund in Germany’s top division by nine points – and have not lost a game yet.
They are also second in the Champions League table, just three points behind Arsenal – the only team to have beaten them.
In total, Kane has scored 115 goals in 121 games since arriving from Tottenham in 2023.
It was an emotional severing of ties between the pair after coming through the club’s academy and becoming its all-time record goalscorer.
Kane has now won a title, winning the Bundesliga last year and finally ending a stunning career drought of major trophies.
Although the English superstar has been a huge success in Germany, there have been repeated reports that they are planning a succession plan while also offering him a new contract.
Nick Woltemade was a transfer target ahead of his move to Newcastle, while Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko have also been linked with summer moves.
Kane himself, meanwhile, has a £57m release clause in his contract, which has credited interest to Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea.
But Eriksen, who played with him for seven seasons between 2013 and 2020, wants Kane to return to his former club instead.

“I would like to see him back at Spurs,” said Eriksen The times.
“From an outside perspective, I would like to see that happen because it would be a special reunion for both him and the club.”
“It’s his decision, right or wrong, but as a fan it would be fun to watch him.
Eriksen himself did not experience an emotional return to Tottenham.
He left north London in 2020 for Inter Milan, where he made a comeback almost two years later.
This came as he was forced to leave the Italian giants after having an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implanted following a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

In the end, Brentford, under the leadership of current Spurs coach Thomas Frank, secured Eriksen on a free transfer, helping him launch his career.
However, despite the talk in the newspaper, Eriksen admitted that despite his desire to return, there had been no concrete interest from his former club.
He said: “I haven’t heard anything from Tottenham. I thought there was media interest rather than club interest,” he said.
“To be honest I would have liked to go back but it didn’t happen so it was fine.”
Currently, Tottenham could use a creative midfielder like Eriksen, who managed 88 assists during his time in N17.
With new signing Xavi Simons settling into English football in the summer, a true midfield master is missing and Frank’s Spurs are struggling.

But Eriksen, who knows his Danish compatriot well, believes disgruntled fans need to give him time, even if their values clearly do not agree with Frank preferring pragmatism to free football.
“First of all, he definitely has the skills to manage a big club,” he said.
“Building Brentford and keeping that going over a long period of time, developing every season, shows his ability. I’ve seen all the Spurs stuff now, turned against him and seen the results, which is normal, you’re in the.” [big] Sixth: You have to win every game.
“But I’m sure he’ll change it in his own way and do something very positive with it because at Spurs you have everything you need, it’s just about getting it to click. I’m sure Thomas is the right man for that.”
“The fans also want to be entertained in a footballing way, which adds extra pressure. It’s about winning games, but also about how you go into the games.”
“Thomas will read it and see where it goes. Often it’s the more defensive teams that win more trophies, let’s say, but at the same time at Spurs you don’t go that forward. You need a bit of tact.”
