For years, watching Harry Kane at Tottenham was kind of like watching someone work a stressful job they were clearly overqualified for.
Year after year, he would score 20, 25, 30 goals, and Spurs would still somehow manage to finish in mid-table or worse.
He was Spurs’ all-time top scorer with 280 goals, but the trophy cabinet stayed empty for his entire time there.
Now look at Tottenham in February 25/26 season so far. They haven’t won a domestic game in 2026 yet. They only won two games since November.
Wrexham, Mansfield Town, and Macclesfield have all beaten Premier League opponents more recently than Spurs have. The club sacked chairman Daniel Levy in September and manager Thomas Frank just a few days ago.
They are in a serious relegation fight, sitting just above the bottom three with 11 games to go.
Their summer signings Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons, who cost over £100 million combined, have managed just three Premier League goals between them all season. It is a genuine mess.
Kane, meanwhile, is living his best life in Munich.
He settled the family into a house, got the kids into school, and said life “slowly but surely starts to feel like home.”
His wife Kate has been posting from Oktoberfest with the other Bayern partners, looking very comfortable in dirndls. Kane even joked that his kids would learn German before him.
He’s invested in sustainable golf apparel brand Reflo, plays golf whenever Munich’s courses allow it, and has been hitting the simulator in winter.
He gave an Instagram Q&A where he revealed his daughter Vivienne was constantly grabbing his phone for photos, which is about as low-drama as celebrity life gets.
He told Sky Sports in October 2025 that if you had asked him right after leaving Spurs, he would have said he’d definitely come back to the Premier League one day.
Now his tune has changed. “I’m very happy here in Munich,” he said. “I don’t look at any other team and think, I want to go there.” Bayern are also in talks about a contract extension. His current deal runs until 2027.
Spurs, to their credit, have a first-refusal clause in Kane’s contract.
But given they are currently staring down the barrel of a historic relegation, and Kane has all this going on in Germany, it is hard to see why he would leave.
Kane has been active on social media throughout his time at Bayern, giving fans a more relaxed and personal look at his life off the pitch.
One moment that captured his relaxed mood recently was him trying out a Snapchat interactive AR lens game that put his accuracy on display.
Snapchat has a full AR gaming ecosystem with over 175 million people playing lens games every month.
The lens overlays virtual targets on the phone camera, and you have to aim and shoot using gestures detected by the AR system.
For someone whose Bundesliga shot accuracy sits at around 60 percent on target, it was no surprise he performed well.
Kane, sitting in his car during downtime, aligns a moving Captain America shield piece to fit perfectly using hand movements, then places a light bulb into a socket, and threads a needle, each success marked by green checkmarks progressing the sequence, ending with celebratory effects.
Tottenham fighting for their life to stay in the Premier League.

It is the kind of thing you do when you are genuinely at ease, not when you are carrying the weight of a struggling club on your shoulders.
Sometimes the right move really does change everything.
Bayern are top of the Bundesliga with 60 points from 23 games, a record of 19 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 loss.
Kane is the top scorer in the division with 28 goals, fifteen ahead of his nearest rival.
In Europe, Bayern finished second in the Champions League league phase and received a bye straight into the Round of 16, where they have been drawn against Atalanta.
The first leg is on March 10 away in Bergamo, with the return leg on March 18 at the Allianz Arena.
If they progress, a quarter-final against Real Madrid or Manchester City awaits.
It is a serious run, and Bayern are being given a 14.56 percent chance to lift the trophy in Budapest in May.
But before any of that, Kane’s immediate focus is Der Klassiker.
Bayern travel to Borussia Dortmund today, in what could be the match that effectively seals the Bundesliga title race.
Dortmund are eight points behind and running out of time. For Kane, it is just another big game in what has become a very good life.
