Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke suggested that Harry Kane’s legacy is imperilled by a move to Bayern Munich.
The England international appears set to join the German champions after failing to land a single trophy in a decade with his boyhood club, Tottenham Hotspur.
A £104 million fee has reportedly been agreed for the 30-year-old to replace Sadio Mane, with the Senegalese forward moving on to Al Ahli after a disappointing debut season.
Yorke moved to United from Aston Villa and preceded to win the treble in his first season with the club, but the Trinidad and Tobago striker was unconvinced by Kane moving in pursuit of trophies.
He told OLBG: "I'm not sure the thinking behind Harry Kane going to Bayern Munich. Obviously, it's one of the biggest football clubs in Europe, without a doubt, but for someone who has scored that many goals in the Premier League and still does not have an English trophy to his name is a bit of a travesty.
“I'd be very surprised if Kane goes to Bayern, especially when clubs like Man United and maybe even Chelsea or Newcastle would be interested in him. It's a surprising one. We talk about Kane's legacy, if he leaves for Bayern, what is it?
“The second-top goalscorer in Premier League history behind Alan Shearer? That's all that he'd be known for and his name would get lost in a conversation if we're talking about the greats of the Premier League. When his career ends, he'll continue to be a legend at Tottenham, but being the second-highest goalscorer won't get him anywhere. If he goes to Bayern, people will forget about him.
“Yes, his name will pop up from time to time, but that's because he's English. We all know that the Bundesliga is more of a one-team league where there is a heavy favourite to win the league title every year, so I don't think that decision will resonate well with fans."
