Former Aston Villa manager and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Paul Lambert does not expect Harry Kane to return to English football, believing the Bayern Munich striker has found the perfect environment to take his career to another level.
Lambert believes Kane has already achieved things at Bayern that would have been extremely difficult to accomplish had he remained at Tottenham Hotspur. Having won the Bundesliga and the Ballon d’Or, the England captain has already enjoyed tremendous individual and team
success in Germany. However, there is still one major prize missing from his collection: the Champions League.
“I don’t think Harry Kane would come back, I really don’t. What would he come back to? Bayern Munich is a fabulous club. He’s won the Ballon d’Or and the Bundesliga. I guess the Champions League is the one he wants now,” Lambert told BetVictor.
The former midfielder also questioned whether Kane would ever have reached the same heights had he stayed in North London.
“No, he wouldn’t. That’s me being honest. He went to a club where he gets chance after chance, he’s performing brilliantly, and his goal numbers are off the charts. He wouldn’t have won the Ballon d’Or at Tottenham. No chance,” said Lambert. “He’s at a club that suits him. The lifestyle for his family and kids is great, and you’re right on the border so you can travel easily. I don’t think he’d want to come back, his game has gone to another level at Bayern.“
With his contract running until 2029, Kane has little reason to consider another move. If anything, the Champions League remains unfinished business, and Bayern Munich gives him a realistic opportunity to chase that dream.
