Harry Kane facing Bayern Munich nightmare and Granit Xhaka dream scenario

Harry Kane's decision to leave his boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur and move to Germany's Bayern Munich had many praising the striker for his desire to be successful.

Kane failed to win a single trophy during his time in England and after not signing a new deal with Spurs, Bayern swooped in to bolster Thomas Tuchel's attack.

Bayern are renowned for making the Bundesliga a one-horse race in recent years, but this season has seen the tide change. And unfortunately for Kane, their hopes of retaining the title hang in the balance.

Following Bayer Leverkusen’s dramatic 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday, Xabi Alonso's men went seven points clear of Bayern after 18 games. Kane and co had the opportunity to cut the gap at home to Werder Bremen but a first win at the Allianz Arena for Die Werderaner since 2008 means it's advantage Bayer.

Bayern still have one game in hand over Bayer but they can only cut the gap to four points. The two sides will meet at the start of February in a fixture that will have a huge toll on the title race.

Kane's unlucky first season in Germany comes as former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka's return to Germany sees him show exactly why he was so pivotal to Mikel Arteta's team.

Arsenal fans will be rooting for their former midfielder to add further title disappointment for one of their north London
