Tottenham Hotspur’s record goalscorer Harry Kane will return to north London when his former team host Bayern Munich in a pre-season friendly on 10 August, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.
England captain Kane, 30, moved to the Bundesliga champions for a reported record Bundesliga fee of around 100 million euros ($108 million) last year.
The match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could also see the return of former Spurs defender Eric Dier who joined the six-times Champions League winners in January.
“This will be a 12th meeting with Bayern in our history and only the fourth to have taken place on home soil,” Spurs said in a statement.
“We memorably overcame the German giants on our way to Uefa Cup success 40 years ago and last met in the Uefa Champions League during the 2019-20 season.”
Kane has been impressive in Germany this season, scoring 37 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions.
He leads the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 31 so far for Bayern, who currently sit second, 10 points off league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the table.
Last time Bayern and Tottenham met was in the 2019-20 Champions League group stage and Spurs were beaten 7-2 at home before Bayern won 3-1 in the reverse fixture.
