Tottenham Hotspur's all-time leading goal scorer Harry Kane is set to make a return to north London as his former team prepares to host Bayern Munich in a preseason friendly on August 10. The Premier League club confirmed the upcoming match, which will see the England captain face off against his former club.
Kane, who made a high-profile move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich last summer in a record-breaking deal exceeding €100 million ($110 million), has been in top form for the German side, netting an impressive 37 goals in 35 appearances this season.
The highly anticipated match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium may also witness the return of former Spurs defender Eric Dier, who made a switch to the six-time Champions League winners in January.
This encounter will mark the 12th meeting between Tottenham and Bayern Munich in their history, with only the fourth taking place on home soil for Spurs. The two clubs have a storied past, with Tottenham famously overcoming the German giants on their way to UEFA Cup success four decades ago. Their most recent clash was in the UEFA Champions League during the 2019-20 season.
