Harry Kane said that he has no plans to return to the Premier League at the moment and that his focus is on Bayern Munich. After winning the Ballon d'Or in London on Monday, Kane also said he still wants to win the Champions League and a major trophy with England.
Kane sets out his current focus
Asked whether he might want to return to England to overtake Alan Shearer’s mark, Kane said: "Not at the moment, not right now. I’m loving life in Munich. Bayern are such a great club. We have an amazing team, a great coach. So yeah, right now that’s where my focus is, and I’m extremely happy, and to be winning awards like this just shows why I made the move in the first place."
Kane added: "Right now it’s with Munich, and we’ll see where that takes me."
The Independent reported that Kane left Tottenham three years ago after scoring 213 Premier League goals. The Independent reported that he remains second on the list of all-time Premier League scorers behind Alan Shearer, who scored 260, leaving Kane 47 short of the record.
Targets still to achieve
Kane said: "There’s always ambition, there’s always dreams for new achievements, new things. I still have a lot to achieve in this game – the Champions League, from club level, and to win a major trophy with England, it’s my No 1 priority for sure."
He also said: "There’s so many great things I want to achieve, and I’ve learned in a career, in life, you don’t really have much of a say. You just have to go with the flow, see where it takes you, believe in what you’re going to do, like I think making the move, and then just go full gas."
Return to Munich after Ballon d'Or
The Independent reported that Kane won the Ballon d'Or in London on Monday evening. The Independent reported that he spent the evening celebrating with family and friends in London before returning to Munich on an early flight to train with his teammates ahead of a German Cup game on Wednesday.
The Independent reported that Bayern Munich have won two Bundesliga titles and a German Cup in Kane's three seasons at the club. The Independent reported that Kane has scored 156 goals in 159 games for Bayern Munich.
Kane said: "It will be massive for me to go back to Munich, to see him, all the staff, all my teammates. I’ve spoken about how much it is theirs as well as it is mine, so just to celebrate with them a little bit will be special."
Kane gives update on Kompany
Kane said of speaking to his manager on the morning of the Ballon d’Or ceremony: "He actually phoned me this morning, bright and early at 9am. I was just out of bed, thankfully, so I was able to answer it. He just wanted to wish me all the best, good luck."
The Independent reported that Vincent Kompany is being treated in hospital for a viral infection after collapsing during a training session.
Kane said: "I asked him how he was doing, he said he feels good, he’s on the mend. I know he’s the type of character who just wants to be back with the team already, he wants to be out on the training field with us, on the bench with us. But it’s important that he rests. He’s been going through a bit of a tough time with his health recently, and we can hopefully cover it, and the staff can cover it whilst he’s not there."
