Al-Hilal express interest in signing Harry Kane
All of the speculation surrounding Kane's future suggests that the 29-year-old is hungry for trophies and may join a top club that can provide that to him. As things stand, Bayern Munich is Kane's most likely destination. The German club is expected to make an improved offer of £80 million for the Spurs player in the near future. PSG, the French champions, have also expressed interest in Kane and are reportedly ready to make a large offer for the striker, but it appears Kane is not interested in a move there.

Will Harry Kane move to Al Hilal?
Al-Hilal, who was reportedly in the race to sign Lionel Messi, has shifted its target and want Harry Kane in. But will Kane agree on the terms? It is highly unlikely that the 29-year-old will move to Saudi Arabia in this stage of his career. He is seeking trophies and could be vying to become the leading scorer in Premier League history, hence, a move to a different continent may hamper his objective. While money could be the driving factor for him to join Al-Hilal, a fan may still be of the opinion that trophies and legacy would matter more.
