Harry Kane has cooled talk of a future Premier League return, telling BBC News that the desire to chase England's all-time scoring record is fading the longer he stays away.

The Bayern Munich striker left Tottenham for Germany in 2023 without ever winning a major trophy in England, and speculation has persisted over whether he might one day head back to test himself again in the Premier League and pursue Alan Shearer's record of 260 goals.

But according to Kane, that pull is no longer as strong as it once was. "The itch isn't there as much anymore," he said, suggesting his focus has shifted firmly to life and success in Germany rather than a nostalgic return home.

The comments will likely ease speculation over any imminent switch back to England, with Kane seemingly settled at Bayern as he continues to chase silverware on the continent instead.
