Harry Kane would “never” make a shock return to the Premier League by joining Chelsea – but a sensational move back to Tottenham is likely.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson claimed the Blues would have no chance of convincing the Bayern Munich ace to join despite his side’s current struggles.
As revealed by Football Insider (18 February), Chelsea are monitoring the England international’s situation at Munich amid whispers that he is not happy at the club.
The German giants are currently eight points adrift of first-place Bayer Leverkusen in the league and lost the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Lazio 1-0 last week (14 February).

Robinson was adamant that, despite Chelsea’s interest, Kane would be much more likely to return to Tottenham or move to the likes of Man United if he was to leave the German giants.
“He’d never go to Chelsea,” he told Football Insider.
“Kane’s only just gone to Bayern Munich – one of the biggest teams in Europe.
“They’re having a faltering season, but he’s having a great one and looks like he’s going to win the Golden Boot in the Bundesliga.
“They’re still in the Champions League – they’re only 1-0 down [to Lazio].
“I don’t suspect Kane would want to reverse and go back to the Premier League after just one season.
“If he was to come back to England, I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if Tottenham had something in the deal to take him back.
“If he was to come back, he wouldn’t be convinced by Chelsea – it would be a huge shock.
“You could understand going to the likes of Man United because they’ve been in for him before.”
