Harry Kane insists he is not thinking about a return to Tottenham and says he is ‘settled’ at Bayern Munich .

The England captain joined Bayern from Spurs for an initial €100 million (£86.4m) transfer fee two years ago and has a contract which runs until 2027.

Kane has a €65m (£56.7m) release clause in his deal with Bayern which can be triggered next summer, although he would need to announce his intention to leave the Bundesliga champions before the end of the January transfer window.

Spurs also have a buy-back option for Kane and Thomas Frank has already made it clear that he would welcome the chance to work with the striker .

When asked about the prospect of returning to Spurs, Kane told the Daily Mail : ‘I’m not sure.

‘I’m very happy here in Munich. It’s not something I’m thinking about. It’ll always be “we” because I spent my whole life there. I’m a fan of them and will always watch them and see how they’re getting on. They will always be a part of my life for sure but as for now, I’m loving it here.

‘It was great to see [the Europa League win]. I’ve got a lot of friends there with the players and staff.

‘We know how long we waited and how close we’d come in the past so it was big for everyone – the fans, the club and all involved to have that feeling and get that one over the line. That’s always important and hopefully they can push on and win more.’

Kane has made a flying start to the season with Bayern. Earlier this month, he became the fastest player this century to score 100 goals for a club playing in one of Europe’s top five leagues in just 104 games, beating the record held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.

‘It’s the best start to any season I’ve ever had for sure,’ Kane said.

‘I just feel really good. I’ve been here in Munich for a couple of years now and everything’s settled off the pitch. My wife and kids are happy and that all contributes.

‘Physically, I’m in a good place. Mentally, I’m at that age now where I’ve got loads of experience. And I’m excited because I’m playing in a team that creates loads of chances and I know that if I get chances, I’m going to score.’
