Bayern Munich targets alternative to Kane

Bayern Munich are reportedly drawing up a list of alternative options to Harry Kane in case their club record bid for the striker is rejected.

The Bundesliga champions have been heavily linked with a move for Kane, but Tottenham Hotspur are said to be reluctant to sell their star player.

According to reports, Bayern are considering Manchester City's Julian Alvarez as a potential alternative to Kane.

The 22-year-old Argentine has impressed for City since joining from River Plate in January, scoring seven goals in 14 Premier League appearances.

Alvarez is seen as a long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero at City, but he could be tempted by the chance to play for Bayern.

England beat Switzerland in a thrilling Euro 2024 shootout on Thursday night, with three players making up for the absence of Harry Kane.

Kane was ruled out of the match with an ankle injury, but his teammates stepped up in his absence.

Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford all scored in the shootout, while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved two Swiss penalties.

The win puts England into the semi-finals of the tournament, where they will face either Sweden or Ukraine.

It was a great performance from England, who showed that they can win even without their star striker.

Ivan Toney has been in impressive form for Brentford this season, and he deserves a chance to become England's alternative to Harry Kane.

The 26-year-old has scored 10 goals in 13 Premier League appearances this season, and he has also provided three assists.

Toney is a physical presence in the box, and he is also good at bringing other players into play.

He would be a good option for England manager Gareth Southgate, who is looking for a long-term replacement for Kane.

Toney has shown that he has the quality to play at the highest level, and he deserves a chance to prove himself for England.
