Harry Kane says “the itch isn’t there as much anymore” to one day return to England from Germany and try and break the all-time scoring record in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The striker left Tottenham<\/a> to join Bayern Munich in 2023 having scored 213 goals in the English top flight, 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s tally of 260.<\/p>\n

Kane has been in sensational form for club and country since moving to Munich, and last season hit a total of 73 goals.<\/p>\n

He has entered the final 12 months of the four-year deal he signed after his \u00a386.4m move from Spurs three years ago, but is set to begin discussing a new contract at Bayern.<\/a><\/p>\n

After receiving the Golden Shoe for finishing top scorer in the Bundesliga on Wednesday, the England captain stressed how settled he feels at Bayern.<\/p>\n

Kane said: “When I first left, for sure it was something I thought – I would definitely be coming back. That itch isn’t there as much anymore. <\/p>\n

“I am extremely happy here in Munich, it opened my eyes to a totally different world of football outside of England and it has made me appreciate European football even more.<\/p>\n

“I just think the team we have here and the manager, my family is really settled here, it is just about being in the best place possible. <\/p>\n

“Never say never, but for now I am concentrating on Bayern Munich and we will see what the future holds.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harry Kane says “the itch isn’t there as much anymore” to one day return to England from Germany…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-598458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
