Harry Kane has essentially ruled out the prospect of returning to the Premier League next summer. The England captain, 32, has indicated he is prepared to pen fresh terms at Bayern Munich as he remains "all in" on extending his stay in Germany. The former Tottenham frontman still has two years remaining on his existing agreement, though Bayern have already signalled their desire to prolong his tenure.

Kane has a complicated clause permitting his departure for £56.7million next summer, with Tottenham holding first refusal as part of the arrangement that secured his move to Germany just over two years ago. Manchester United have also long admired the Three Lions skipper. But the Bayern talisman, who claimed the Bundesliga title last season and has already netted 19 times for club and country, declared: "In terms of staying there longer, I could definitely see that.

"I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation. Obviously, it depends on how the next year or so goes and what we achieve together. Right now, I would say we are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.

"In terms of the Premier League, I don't know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back. Now I have been there a couple of years, I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, not so much, but I wouldn't say I would never go back.

"What I have learnt in my career is that different opportunities and different timings happen and things fall in place. Going back to my first point with Bayern right now, I am fully all in with Bayern."

Kane also made it clear that his loyalty to Bayern also comes from enjoying his new adventure in the Bundesliga even if it probably ends any chance of a Spurs return or even a move to Major League Soccer in the future.

He added: "If there was a conversation about extending then we will see, but I have still got this season and another season. It is not like I am in my last year, it is not like there is any panic in that sense.

"I am calm, I love the manager at Bayern, I think he is fantastic and as always in my career as long as we are improving and I am improving then I am happy to see what we can achieve. I think MLS is too early for sure the way I feel right now, the way I am playing right now. The MLS would be something later in my career when I am thinking about the last couple of years or so."
