Harry Kane: I will follow Tottenham for the rest of my life

Spurs won four and drew one of their opening five games of the Premier League season before facing Arsenal – who have the same record – to move into second place in the table ahead of the northern derby from London on Sunday.

Kane, who has made a strong start in life since his £120million move to Bayern Munich, says he will never stop cheering for Spurs.

Asked about Spurs’ form, Kane told reporters: “Fantastic start – I always keep an eye on them and I think I’ll keep an eye on Tottenham for the rest of my life.

“I’m really happy to see the team playing the way they are and of course seeing their fans happy too is a good thing.

“I’m sure they’ll be excited to continue this momentum. They’ve got a huge game coming up, so I’ll definitely see how they do as the season goes on.”

Kane insisted Bayern were the right choice of club to leave Spurs as he prepares to face Manchester United, another club who have long held an interest in him.

The England captain reportedly has no desire to move to Old Trafford this summer.

“Obviously this summer I know there were discussions between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern was a team that I was really interested in and really excited about,” he said.

“There wasn’t much further discussion once they arrived. It was between them and Tottenham to talk and then the deal was done.

“My focus is here. Manchester United is a big club, a really big club too. I just decided to come here and I’m really happy about it.”
