Matthaus warns Bayern Munich off Kane: Spurs striker too old and too expensive

Bayern Munich great Lothar Matthaus has called on the German giants to ignore Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

Kane is being linked with Bayern for a summer market move.

But Matthaus wrote for Sky Deutschland: "I'm excited to see if a new striker comes along.

"Everyone is talking about Victor Osimhen for his sensational performance at Napoli. You never know if he can do that in Munich, but I think he would be a good fit.

"Randal Kolo Muani may need a little more room and space than a Bayern striker usually has, but he's also good in the box and could work in Munich.

"Harry Kane would be too old and too expensive for me.

"The price-performance ratio could speak for Niclas Füllkrug. He would probably be available for €20-25 million [£17.6m-£22m] and score 25 goals in Munich. He's already scored 20 times at Werder."
