What Harry Kane was spotted doing instantly after Tottenham won Europa League
Tottenham Hotspur Finally End Trophy Drought with Europa League Glory – Harry Kane Sends Heartfelt Message
After nearly two decades of heartbreak and near-misses, Tottenham Hotspur finally lifted a major trophy, putting an end to their 17-year silverware drought. The North London club triumphed in the UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday night, securing a dramatic 1-0 victory over Premier League rivals Manchester United at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao.
This historic triumph marks a significant milestone in Ange Postecoglou’s managerial journey. The Australian head coach had boldly declared in his early days at the club that he tends to deliver results in his second season – and he certainly kept his word. Despite an inconsistent 2024/25 Premier League campaign that saw Spurs struggle for consistency, they finished the season on a glorious high with a major European title in their hands.
The victory was sealed by a solitary goal, and it proved enough to overcome a resilient Manchester United side. The result not only brought long-awaited joy to the Spurs faithful but also earned the club a prestigious place back among Europe’s elite.
Harry Kane Congratulates Spurs After Emotional Triumph
Among the many well-wishers after the final was none other than former Tottenham superstar Harry Kane. The England captain, who left Spurs in the summer of 2023 to join German giants Bayern Munich, took to Instagram to express his delight at seeing his old club achieve success. Posting on his Instagram Story, Kane wrote simply and sincerely: “Congratulations @spursofficial.”
Kane, who spent over a decade with Tottenham’s senior team, remains an icon at the club. During his time in North London, he racked up an impressive 280 goals in more than 430 appearances across all competitions. Despite his move abroad, his affection for Spurs clearly remains strong, and he’s been an avid follower of their fortunes from afar.
Kane Enjoying Success in Germany – No Return on the Horizon
Since his high-profile transfer to Bayern Munich, Kane has wasted no time in making his mark on German football. In just 91 appearances, he has been involved in a staggering 107 goal contributions, showcasing his continued world-class quality. This season, he celebrated a personal milestone by lifting his first major senior trophy – a long-awaited honor in his decorated career – and was also named the Bundesliga’s Player of the Season.
Despite recent transfer speculation, suggesting that clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United are monitoring Kane’s situation with interest, there’s little indication that he will leave Bavaria anytime soon. According to journalist Graeme Bailey via TBR Football, those clubs are exploring new striker options – but while Kane’s name naturally comes up, a move appears highly unlikely.
From Bayern’s perspective, Kane has become indispensable. At 31, he shows no signs of decline, continuing to score goals with remarkable consistency. The club is fully committed to building around him, not replacing him.
Bayern’s Transfer Outlook and Spurs’ Potential Move for Tel
Bayern Munich are currently evaluating their attacking options for next season. While reports have linked the club with Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, German journalist Christian Falk believes Bayer Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick could emerge as a more realistic target.
One significant variable in Bayern’s summer transfer plans is the future of young French forward Mathys Tel. Currently on loan at Tottenham, Tel has impressed in spells and could be signed permanently by the North London club. Winning the Europa League only increases the chances of Tel choosing to remain with Spurs, especially as the club looks to bolster its attacking depth.
If Spurs do make Tel’s move permanent, Bayern would likely use those funds to bring in another striker to support or eventually succeed Kane.
A Bright Future for Both Sides
As Tottenham celebrates its first major trophy since 2008, there’s a renewed sense of belief and ambition surrounding the club. Under Postecoglou’s leadership, Spurs appear to be turning a corner, and with a taste of European glory now in their locker, the hunger for more is sure to grow.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane is thriving in Germany, proving that his move away from the Premier League was not just about silverware, but also about personal growth and challenging himself in a new environment. While the door for a return to England may never be completely shut, it’s clear that for now, Kane is focused on leading Bayern’s charge both domestically and in Europe.
For Tottenham fans, their former talisman’s words of support only made the Europa League victory sweeter – a fitting full-circle moment for club and player alike.
