Bayern Munich 'cancel flight' to meet Daniel Levy sparking Harry Kane Tottenham transfer theory

Bayern Munich have been heavily linked with a move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane this summer. And those connected with the Bundesliga giants have made little secret of their desire to complete a transfer before the summer transfer window closes.

Plenty of people behind the scenes whether they be currently or previously connected to the German club have spoken out about the transfer saga, irking the Tottenham hierarchy.

Spurs do not want to lose their all-time top goalscorer, but do face the prospect of losing him on a free transfer next summer, with his current contract due to end in 2024, if they do not sell this summer.

Chairman Daniel Levy is unlikely to even enter talks over selling the England skipper for less than £100million, but reports in Germany have suggested Bayern are growing «increasingly confident» of securing a deal for the frontman.

According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, a deadline of Sunday, August 6 — when Spurs take on Shakhtar Donetsk in their final pre-season friendly — had been set by Bayern bosses. Bayern officials were also reported to be travelling to London for talks with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy on Friday — Kane's 30th birthday.

However, it appears that plan to travel to London has been scuppered. According to Bild, the flight due to take Bayern bosses from Germany to London was cancelled late on Thursday night for unknown reasons.
