Michael Owen has doubled down on his belief that Harry Kane should have stayed in the Premier League – but insists he is still a huge fan.The ex-Liverpool and Manchester United striker caused a stir when he claimed the England captain was ‘nuts’ for joining Bayern Munich.Owen has been quite vocal in discussing Kane’s move to Bayern MunichKane ended his 19-year association with his boyhood club, Tottenham Hotspur, to move to the Bundesliga giants in the summer of 2023.The 32-year-old had famously never won a trophy with Spurs, who had also dropped out of the Champions League by the time he left.However, on an individual level, Kane had scored 213 Premier League goals and was just 48 strikes shy of breaking Alan Shearer‘s record tally.As a result, Owen disagreed with his English countryman’s decision to prioritise winning a Bundesliga title over claiming the unique record.What has Michael Owen said about Harry Kane?During an interview with talkSPORT.com, via betting site BetSelect, Owen said: “I’ve been quite vocal on Harry Kane‘s move to Germany.“I thought it was the wrong move. But hey, somebody can look at my career and say you shouldn’t have done this, and shouldn’t have done that. “And I absolutely respect the different stages of your career, you got different opportunities or conundrums to solve. So total respect.”Owen added: “What an incredible player. He’s one of the best finishers we’ve ever seen.“He’s done a great service to England and to his clubs. I couldn’t speak highly enough of him. “I personally wish he hadn’t gone abroad. I personally wish he had stayed in the Premier League.Kane won his first career trophy by lifting the Bundesliga with BayernGetty“I think he made a couple of decisions that, in hindsight, he would change if he were honest when he retires.“If he had stayed in the Premier League, he’d be close to that record already. “Whether he’s got time on his side now is a different matter. That remains to be seen. “But he’s just a phenomenal player, and he’s done great things for English football. I’m a huge fan.”Despite going trophyless during his first season at Bayern, Kane did ultimately claim his first major piece of silverware last season.Yet just weeks later, his former side, Spurs, won their first trophy in 17 seasons by beating Man United to lift the Europa League.Kane is ‘one of the best finishers we’ve ever seen’, says OwenGettyOwen is also sure Kane should have stuck around to take Shearer’s top scorer recordKane, on a personal note, has continued his ridiculously high standards since arriving in Munich – scoring 91 goals in 100 games in all competitions.The two-time Bundesliga top scorer award-winner has also remained the face of the Thomas Tuchel era with England.His opening strike in the 5-0 win over Serbia took his tally to 74 goals in 109 caps – having also moved clear of Bobby Moore in the all-time appearance list to fifth spot.Kane responds to Owen’s ‘nuts’ digThe England skipper took a diplomatic view on Owen’s comments by insisting that joining Bayern was about playing at the highest level.“I heard it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” Kane remarked.“I’ve spent a bit of time with him [Owen] but don’t know him well.Kane got on the scoresheet for England once again in their win over Serbia“Obviously, he is a Premier League great and an England great as well, so I’ll respect him as a person.“But ultimately, as he will know, everyone’s career is different — everyone’s decisions and motivations are different.“I know he was insinuating I went just for the trophy.“But it was to be at the highest level for as long as possible.“And I’m really happy in that sense of playing big games, title runs, big Champions League matches, Club World Cup quarter-final.“I feel I’m improving as a player, I’m pushing my limits as a player in terms of goalscoring and just improving.Owen was full of praise for Kane, but downplayed the worth of his Bundesliga winFerdinand Presents“It’s hard not to hear things these days, but the decisions are best for me.“And I’m really happy that I made that decision and very happy at Bayern Munich now.”
