Harry Kane is set to join Bayern Munich.

Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has identified a replacement for outgoing Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane if his transfer to Bayern Munich is made official. 

After weeks of drawn out negotiations, Spurs accepted a £100 million bid from the German giants on Friday and now Kane is set to fly to Germany to complete the move. 

The departure of Kane will be a huge loss for Spurs with the current England captain a reliable goalscorer, but Nevin believes Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi has the ability to fill the void. 

"If Kyogo left, it would break Celtic hearts. He just signed a new deal which is good, however if the Premier League comes calling, it will be hard to turn down," Nevin told the Sporting Post

"The obvious place for him to go there would be Spurs. If Harry Kane goes, they will need someone who can link up play and is a natural goalscorer. Ange would have worked with him before, so he will know all about him. 

"Kyogo is not the same level as Kane, and he is slighter than him. Kane is world class, while Kyogo would still have to show that in a top league.

"If you give Kyogo the chance to score goals though, he will score and Ange will know that. I would like to keep seeing him in Scotland but I would not be shocked if he went to Spurs."

Furuhashi joined Celtic in July 2021 where he has made 84 appearances and scored 55 goals.
