Kane, 30, looks set to quit Spurs after almost 20 years at his boyhood club.

The England captain is said to be desperate to link up with former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in Bavaria, with wife Kate reportedly househunting in the area.

And a fresh transfer bid from Bayern is expected this week following several failed offers, the last of which was worth £82m.

The Bundesliga champions are now considering meeting Spurs’ £100m valuation for Kane, who has just one year remaining on his deal.

But doubts have now been cast over the value of the transfer by , who has penned an open letter to Bayern chiefs urging them to axe talks.

He can’t believe Tottenham rejected the previous bid of £82m for a player no longer in his twenties who is also a free agent next summer.

Hinko described Kane as an “old bone” who would need a “miracle” to fill Robert Lewandowski’s boots.

And he also took aim at Spurs’ lack of silverware, claiming the last time they were champions of England was in the “Stone Age.”

Hinko titled his column: “A last ditch effort to keep you [Bayern] from spending 100 million or more on a – sorry – 30-year-old bone.”

Part of it read: “[Kane’s] wide-arm movement fills almost the entire penalty area.

“Why the hell are Tottenham now even making fun of Bayern and spreading rumours that they want to buy [Bayern kid] Mathys Tel.

“You can’t let Tottenham show you up, dear Bayern officials. Don’t ridicule.

“Who are they from this London suburb anyway? English champions in Stone Age football 62 and 72 years ago.

“These are just thoughts, dear Bayern officials. This is not meant to be know-it-all, no bossiness.

“And if, contrary to my expectations, things should work out with Kane, I’ll be the first to congratulate you.”
