As Kane’s future at Bayern Munich is still undecided, many sources indicate that Chelsea could take a daring step to acquire the English forward.
Harry Kane’s future at Bayern Munich has become a hot topic recently. Despite maintaining impressive form in Germany, the English striker is reportedly on Chelsea’s radar—a club actively rebuilding under coach Enzo Maresca.
In this context, former defender Glen Johnson—who played for Chelsea from 2003 to 2007—unexpectedly stated that Kane would be the perfect missing piece for Enzo Maresca’s squad.
According to Glen Johnson, Chelsea currently “desperately” needs a complete striker, and Kane fits that profile perfectly.
“If Harry Kane is ready to come back to the Premier League, Chelsea should be the first to approach him,” Johnson said. “Chelsea requires a true center forward, someone who can link play and make a difference. Kane fulfills that role, whereas Arsenal and Liverpool already have their own attacking options.”
The former England international also believes returning to Tottenham would not be the right choice. “I don’t think Kane should go back to Spurs. He left to chase trophies, and coming back now wouldn’t help. Sometimes, you have to keep moving forward rather than looking back,” Johnson added.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is riding high after winning the 2025 Club World Cup. This success has strengthened the West London club’s confidence in their new project, but it has also highlighted the need for a top-class striker to sustain long-term performance.
Since the start of the season, Kane has maintained peak form with numerous goals for Bayern Munich, proving he remains one of Europe’s most complete forwards. Still, the possibility of returning to the Premier League continues to attract attention from English fans, especially as Chelsea rebuilds their attack under coach Maresca.
Although it is still speculation, the idea of Kane wearing the Blues jersey has energized the atmosphere in London like never before. With his form, experience, and leadership, Harry Kane could be a major boost if Chelsea truly decides to pursue his signature.
