Simon Jordan has insisted that it would be ‘ridiculous’ for Harry Kane to join Bayern Munich and urged Daniel Levy to do what is necessary to ensure that the striker commits his future to Tottenham.
Kane’s future is undoubtedly going to continue to be one of the main topics of conversation as we near the summer transfer window, with the striker having just 16 months left on his current deal (Transfermarkt).

There have been some positive updates on the striker’s future recently, with Football Insider claiming last week that Spurs are confident that they would be able to tie the England captain down to a new long-term contract.
However, Jordan warned Levy that Kane will approach things a lot differently than he did in 2021 if he decides that he wants to leave his boyhood club in the summer.
The former Crystal Palace wrote in his column for The Daily Mail: “Daniel Levy cannot rely on Harry Kane being surrounded by village idiots again when he tries to convince his star player to sign a new deal at Tottenham Hotspur.
“The ineptitude of the decision-making from those representing Kane in trying to get him to Manchester City was laughable. It surely won’t be next time.
“Levy has the blue-chip stadium and the blue-chip debt, now he must tweak the football proposition so the team become a tour de force and end the perception many fans have of him as the Ebenezer Scrooge of football.”
Jordan insisted that the Spurs chairman needs to do ‘whatever it takes’ to hang on to both Kane and Antonio Conte.
He continued: “Tottenham must take control of their available destiny, pursue success and shape a better set of outcomes than we’ve seen in recent years. That must mean keeping Harry Kane and keeping Antonio Conte.
“Within reason, do whatever it takes. Whether that means creative, adjustable release clauses, phenomenal bonuses if and when Tottenham win things or whatever, they must ensure Kane remains.
“It’s not a case of being unable to do the deal, it’s about having the will to make it happen. Kane is the jewel in their crown. At this stage, and for the foreseeable future, he is irreplaceable.”
The pundit also opined that a move to Bayern would not make any sense for Kane, suggesting that winning any trophy with Spurs would mean more to the 29-year-old than winning multiple titles at the Allianz Arena.
The 55-year-old added: “Forget Bayern Munich, a move there would be bloody ridiculous. That’s not a little Englander, Dambusters mentality, but it’s preposterous to think a Bundesliga title would trump the possibility of winning something with the club where he has spent his whole career.
“If Spurs do keep Kane and they do keep Conte, they can win something. Surely an FA Cup with Spurs would have greater value than a trophy in Germany?”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do have a feeling that Levy and the Spurs board are prepared to do whatever it takes to hang on to Kane and I expect their efforts to be successful if we qualify for the Champions League.
However, the situation with Conte is a lot more complicated as the 53-year-old might want to return to Italy to live close to his family, which is something that Tottenham might not be able to influence.
