Harry Kane could be joined by a fellow Englishman at Bayern Munich if the Bundesliga giants decide to step up their interest in one of Chelsea's transfer targets.
A move to the Allianz Arena has worked out for Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur back in the summer of 2023. The England captain got his hands on silverware for the first time in his career and has delivered record-breaking goalscoring numbers.
Leaving English football is becoming increasingly popular, and Jude Bellingham is another member of the Three Lions team flourishing at Real Madrid in Spain. Their exploits are exactly why other Englishmen find moving abroad appealing.
Gibbs-White on Bayern Munich Radar

Bayern are hoping that's the case for Morgan Gibbs-White, whom they have reportedly added to their shortlist. A report from Daily Mail Sport claims that the Bavarians will weigh up a move for the Nottingham Forest midfielder if Michael Olise joins Real Madrid.
Gibbs-White enjoyed a red-hot second half of the 2025-26 campaign and finished the season with 15 goals and four assists in 37 league games. His performances for the Tricky Trees haven't gone unnoticed and the German champions aren't the only ones interested.
Chelsea are said to have shown "growing interest" in the 26-year-old earlier this summer, but he wants to play Champions League football. That is likely to rule out a move to Stamford Bridge and while the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City have been linked in the past, they don't appear to be looking to sign him this summer.
Bayern could be aided by Premier League clubs often preferring to sell their star players abroad rather than to a domestic rival. But in any case it could take a massive fee to sign the former Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder.
A report from The Telegraph earlier this summer suggested that Forest are valuing Gibbs-White at around £125 million. They are using Elliot Anderson's £116m switch to Manchester City as a yardstick.

Forest handed Gibbs-White a new contract worth £100,000 per week after Tottenham Hotspur tried signing the English playmaker last summer. He became the first player in the club's history to be offered such a lucrative deal and owner Evangelos Marinakis ensured the Tricky Trees kept their star man.
As last season drew to a close, Anderson leaving the City Ground felt inevitable amid growing talk of a move to City or United. That hasn't been the case for Gibbs-White, dubbed "sensational", who has been at the club since 2022.
The report claims that Oliver Glasner's appointment has had a positive impact on him. The higher-ups are hopeful the Austrian can develop him much like he did with Olise, Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace.

Forest don't want to sell Gibbs-White unless they receive an offer that is too attractive to turn down. For the player, he may be eager to prove his worth and get in the England squad after missing out on the World Cup.
