'Can't get my head around it' - Harry Kane left reeling by Eric Dier 'retirement' announcement after Bayern Munich team-mate's 'tough spell' during summer break

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich

Union Berlin

<p>Defender Dier swapped Tottenham for Bayern in the second half of last season on loan, before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/eric-dier-harry-kane-tottenham-bayern-permanent-transfer/bltf8da99e8bf7fb381" target="_blank">joining the Bundesliga side permanently</a> in the summer. When the England international signed for the Bavarians, he admitted he would be taking German lessons and playing golf with Kane. Now, Three Lions skipper Kane has revealed his old Spurs team-mate has given up golf... but he has not given up hope on coaxing him back into playing. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBooeWPFKk8" target="_blank">Rick Shiels Golf Show</a>: "A good friend of mine, Eric Dier, is going through a bit of a... I'll give him a little shoutout, he's going through a bit of a tough spell. He was obsessed with golf and then he had a tough summer playing, he went to some of the best courses. All of a sudden, he's come back and said he's retired from golf.</p><p>"I can't get my head around it, so we're trying to get him back out of retirement to get out there and play. Just need to get him out there and once he has that feeling, I think he'll be sweet. He'll be back out there, I'll get him out there."</p>

WHAT HARRY KANE SAID

<p>Away from off-the-field matters, Kane and Dier's Bayern sit top of the Bundesliga - but are only ahead of RB Leipzig on goal difference. Vincent Kompany's side want to return to winning silverware again after the German giants had a trophyless season in 2023-24 under Thomas Tuchel.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Both Kane and Dier could be in action in the second round of the DFB-Pokal cup away to Mainz on Wednesday night, before they return to Bundesliga action on Saturday, November 2.</p>
