Former Bayern Munich striker Lukasz Podolski is backing their move for Harry Kane.

Podolski says the Tottenham striker is the one player who can lift standards at Bayern.

The former Arsenal star told Sky Deutschland: "Can Bayern complete Kane's transfer? I think yes.

"When Uli Hoeness (Bayern honorary president) makes a statement like this, there is something behind it.

"For Bayern, Harry Kane is the only striker who can really help them. He is at the right age, a classic nine, and he scores goals - a player who is perfect for Bayern."
