When Harry Kane and Bayern Munich visit Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, it will be a massive event; at least by preseason standards. While he just got back to Bayern Munich, and resumed training only this week, we’re guessing he’ll still be in the first team here. Kane has returned from a well-deserved holiday, off the heels of captaining England to a runner-up finish at the 2024 Euros.

After all, this exhibition match was part of the transfer agreement. Kane may only play the first half, but that should still be very exciting to the White Hart Lane faithful.
The 31-year-old captain of the England National Team scored 213 goals in 317 appearances while wearing the Tottenham shirt, so he’ll receive a very warm welcome here.
We’re also predicting that another former Spurs man, Eric Dier, to be in Vincent Kompany’s first 11 this weekend.
