“He’s never been fast”
Hamann rumbles: Kane isn’t worth that much money

A three-digit million fee for Harry Kane? Sky expert Dietmar Hamann would not meet Tottenham Hotspur’s demand because he no longer trusts the striker to score goals in a few years. He proposes another candidate to FC Bayern.
Former national soccer player Dietmar Hamann advises FC Bayern Munich against a transfer of England’s star striker Harry Kane. “He doesn’t have the physique of (Robert) Lewandowski, he’s never been fast, and I would have major concerns if he would score the goals in two or three years that Lewandowski is still shooting at 34,” said Sky expert Hamann at an event organized by the TV station in Munich.
Kane is the dream striker of the German record champions. Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur is said to be demanding £100m (equivalent to around €116m) for their top scorer. “For me, that’s too much money for a 30-year-old,” said the 49-year-old, who himself played for Bayern for several years. “It would be good for Bayern, it would be good for the league, but it has to fit. For me, what would be paid for what you get is out of proportion.” In addition to the transfer, Bayern would probably have to estimate around 100 million as salary costs for four years of the contract.
Dear Kolo Muani or Tel
The newspaper “Evening Standard” wrote that Kane tends not to move to Munich this summer. The goalscorer is impressed by the philosophy of the new coach Ante Postecoglou and enjoys training with the Greek-born Australian.
Hamann would rather advise Munich to transfer Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt. “I would rather pay 100 million for him than for Kane because he is 24. He has everything, he can do everything and can possibly score goals for the next six, seven, eight years,” said Hamann. Kolo Muani is said to be on the verge of a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Former midfielder Hamann would like to see FC Bayern trust Mathys Tel up front. “Whenever he played, he did something. There was always something going on, so let him play,” said Hamann about the 18-year-old Frenchman.
