Harry Kane: England striker plays down returning to Premier League in future to break Alan Shearer record
England striker Harry Kane has expressed that he no longer feels a strong desire to return to the Premier League to break Alan Shearer's scoring record. Currently playing for Bayern Munich, Kane feels settled and credits manager Vincent Kompany for elevating his performance.

Harry Kane says "the itch isn't there as much anymore" to one day return to England from Germany and try and break the all-time scoring record in the Premier League.
The striker left Tottenham to join Bayern Munich in 2023 having scored 213 goals in the English top flight, 47 goals short of Alan Shearer's tally of 260.
Kane has been in sensational form for club and country since moving to Munich, and last season hit a total of 73 goals.
He has entered the final 12 months of the four-year deal he signed after his £86.4m move from Spurs three years ago, but is set to begin discussing a new contract at Bayern.
