Kane downplays Premier League return, says 'itch' to chase scoring record has eased
Harry Kane says he is no longer as driven to return to England from Germany to try to break the Premier League’s all-time scoring record. The England striker told BBC Sport that "the itch isn't there as much anymore." Kane’s comment suggests he has cooled on the idea of a future return to the Premier League to pursue that milestone. The remark came during an interview with BBC Sport and directly addresses his personal motivation to chase the scoring mark back in England. Beyond the quote, Kane gave no further details on timing or future plans in the remarks supplied.
Downunder Voices perspective
Why this matters
Kane’s reduced desire to return makes a future Premier League move to chase the scoring record less likely, which could influence clubs that might have considered signing him.
