Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane has set a deadline for this weekend regarding his potential transfer to Bayern Munich.
Despite speculation linking him with a move to the Allianz Arena throughout the summer, it is believed that Kane is now warming to the idea of staying in North London.
Harry Kane set for Tottenham stay?
According to Fabrizio Romano, one thing remains certain: Kane wants the saga to be wrapped up in time for Tottenham’s Premier League opener at Brentford on Sunday.

As reported last week, Bayern Munich offered a take-it-or-leave-it offer for Kane last Friday and requested that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy respond to the bid by midnight. However, Levy reportedly flew to see his family in the United States during the final crucial hours- meaning the deadline passed without acknowledgment.
Kane is thought to want to concentrate on his football next season. With the England captain just 47 goals behind Alan Shearer in the all-time Premier League record goalscoring charts- there remain valid incentives for Kane to stay at Tottenham for the foreseeable future.
