DREAM TEAM gaffers have suffered a brutal blow on the eve of the new season with Harry Kane (£7m) likely to join Bayern Munich in the coming days.
Tottenham have reportedly accepted an offer in excess of £94.5million for their all-time top scorer from the German giants in what seems to be final decisive act of the long-running transfer saga.

The decision now rests with the England captain, who has been undecided about his future for a couple for years now.
Kane may yet choose to stay in north London but with his current contract due to expire next summer, a switch to the Bundesliga champions seems most likely.
The 30-year-old’s exit would mean the departure of a modern Dream Team legend, not to mention the fourth-most popular striker in the game ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Only Alan Shearer has scored more Premier League goals than Kane and only Thierry Henry has won more Golden Boots.
And last season was one of his most impressive campaigns as he defied Spurs’ general malaise to bag 30 league goals for the second time in his career.

Kane would have amassed 367 points last season had Dream Team’s improved scoring system been implemented, a tally only bettered by four other players.
13.9% of gaffers will have to find a replacement ahead of Gameweek 1 with Mohamed Salah (£7m) the obvious candidate as the only other forward of equivalent price.

But even those who have not selected Kane at this stage will be losing a premium option – most gaffers back him at some point throughout the season.
Son Heung-min’s ownership (4.3%) may increase if fans expect the South Korean superstar to step up in the absence of his main collaborator, especially if he starts taking penalties.
Kane is one of a select few players to have provided over 1,000 Dream Team points down the years – he will be greatly missed.
