Tottenham player and CL club have ‘reached an agreement for a summer transfer – journalist
Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is a priority target for Bayern Munich this summer, and there’s some more bad news for Spurs fans now.
The North Londoners have had a pretty wild 24 hours. From signing Guglielmo Vicario to rejecting a bid for Harry Kane and then to sealing a deal to sign James Maddison – everything happened in the space of a day.
The news about Vicario and Maddison is hugely positive, but there’s an update from Christian Falk on Kane now that overshadows all the positivity.
Tottenham’s Harry Kane has reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to join them
Harry Kane is Tottenham‘s most important player and is one of the best strikers in the world.
The Englishman has been magnificent for Spurs over the years and has singlehandedly won them numerous games. His performances last season were sensational as well, and it’s no wonder he’s a wanted man.
Manchester United looked very keen to sign Kane for a while, but it looks like Bayern Munich is the favorite to land him now after agreeing on terms with him over a move.
However, the German giants still have to convince Daniel Levy, and that is the most difficult part of the desired transfer.
Falk tweeted yesterday: “Bayern and Harry Kane have reached an agreement in principle on a transfer for this summer.
“The family of Kane (father and Brother) conducted the negotiations. The prerequisite for the transfer is now: an agreement with Tottenham.”

Tottenham not yet confirming Clement Lenglet signing
The Spanish online publication Sport broke the news late Tuesday afternoon, saying Tottenham and Barcelona have reached a deal in principle.
However, recent reports from Fabrizio Romano confirm that Spurs have yet landed Clement Lenglet, who, if the deal goes through, is expected to cost Tottenham around £8.6 million.
Understand Tottenham not advancing on Clement Lenglet deal with Barça yet — it’s not a priority now.

For now, we wait to see if Tottenham pushes for the £8.6 million transfer.
Tottenham initially said it wouldn’t pay more than £5 million to secure the Frenchman permanently.
Stretching their upper limit by less than £4 million, while almost double the original amount, would make sense considering what Lenglet brings.
He was one of Tottenham’s most consistent central defenders, which, admittedly, isn’t saying a lot.
Lenglet was released a few weeks ago after his season loan spell in north London in which he made 26 Premier League appearances and all but one of Spurs’ eight Champions League contests.
Lenglet is left-footed and can if needed, play at left-back. However, that proposition is doubtful, considering how Ange utilizes fullbacks. Spurs will wait to confirm the signing of Maddison before deciding what to do with Lenglet, but he still in Spurs’ plans.
For now, anyway.
Signing Lenglet would also provide Tottenham with a buffer, more breathing room to sell Davinson Sanchez and, quite possibly, Eric Dier.
Although Dier will probably stay at Spurs until his contract ends at the end of the 2023-24 season. That way, as he’ll depart for free, he can sign with his preferred suitor. Only time will tell how in demand Dier is after a season where he’s expected to play second fiddle.
Hopefully Spurs get the Lenglet deal across the line as it would be an excellent bit of business, as it would add stability and depth while opening the door to sell one, potentially two players on Spurs’ death row list.
