Harry Kane says he is thrilled to see how radically Tottenham have improved since he left and hopes they can win the Premier League title this season.
The England captain made the tough decision to leave his boyhood club over the summer, joining Bayern Munich in a deal worth £100million.
Over the course of 14 years, Kane established himself as one of Spurs’ greatest ever players and all-time top goalscorer, with 280 goals in 435 appearances.
However, the striker was unable to win any silverware while in North London, and with the club enduring a turbulent last few seasons, that dream looked as far away as it had ever been – a key factor in Kane’s decision to move on.
But since his departure, Spurs have looked completely reborn under Ange Postecoglou, playing free-flowing attacking football and still scoring goals at a fantastic rate despite the departure of their key talisman.
They are unbeaten after eight league games and currently sit top of the table, level on points with arch-rivals Arsenal but ahead on goals scored.
‘It’s great to see. I think I’ve said before, the manager is doing great for them with the way they’re playing,’ Kane said.

‘The fans are right behind the team and it’s definitely what they needed after the last few years. I’ll always keep an eye on Spurs and the Premier League.
‘Of course, there’s still a long way to go, but like the manager said, there’s no reason why the fans shouldn’t be excited and happy with the way things are going. Hopefully they can continue.
‘I have made it clear my whole career I am a Tottenham fan and I would love to see Tottenham do well. There is no other team in the Premier League I would want to win than Tottenham.’

While Spurs are top of Premier League, Kane’s Bayern are only third in Bundesliga – two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen after seven games – though the striker has had little trouble fitting in, scoring nine goals in his first 10 games across all competitions.
‘Also, I have to be respectful to Bayern Munich and of course, the fans know I will always have a soft spot for Spurs – there is no question about that – but I have got to put all my attention on Bayern Munich and to make us as successful as possible,’ the 30-year-old added.
‘So, I know there will be questions, for sure, particularly when Tottenham are doing well. Of course, I hope they do as well as possible but my main attention is where I am now and trying to perform for Bayern.’
