JAKARTA - Striker Harry Kane has left Tottenham Hotspur and is now Bayern Munich's goal engine. However, Kane still wants Tottenham to win the English Premier League.
Tottenham managed to top the Premier League standings after a 2-1 win over Luton Town with 20 points. The same as Arsenal who are in second place, but the Gunners lost on goal difference.

When he was, the highest achievement of The Lilywhites was only the runner-up of Premier Keague 2017 and the 2019 Champions League.
After Kane left, Tottenham actually skyrocketed. Motivated by the new captain Son Heung-min, the North London club was able to occupy the standings after eight matches.
Although it was only the start of the competition, Tottenham became one of the winning candidates this season with Man City da Arsenal.
Tottenham's success did not make Kane regret leaving the club that raised him. He continued to support and hoped the team could win the Premier League.
"It should be emphasized that I am still a Tottenham fan. I am happy to see Tottenham achieve good results," said Kane, who returned to England to strengthen the national team in the Euro 2024 test and qualifying matches.
