Bayern Munich remain hopeful of completing a deal for Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane this week, according to Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The Bundesliga side’s CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director, Marco Neppe, are now leading the negotiations to sign the striker.

Plettenberg says the Bavarian club’s officials are ‘on their way to London now’ to hold talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

He adds both Dressen and Neppe have a good relationship with the Spurs supremo and will try to use this to their advantage when negotiating a deal for the 30-year-old.

The journalist says there have been concrete negotiations between the two clubs ‘for days’ and this a ‘crucial development’ when compared to the past few weeks.

Kane, who has a year left on his Tottenham deal, has given his approval to Bayern. The England international is now waiting for the two clubs to agree a deal.

Plettenberg has also shared another tweet where Neppe is seen arriving at the airport before flying to London to hold key talks with Levy for Kane.

Earlier reports indicated the Spurs chairman cancelled a meeting with Bayern president Herbert Hainer at the last minute.

With regards to these claims, Hainer told TZ: “Sometimes a lot is interpreted into what are more normal processes.

“I can tell you that when I negotiated the last contract [for Adidas] with the Japanese Football Association in 2014, we flew to Japan five times. I was in Tokyo twice, and there were only so-called ‘polite visits. Then at some point I said: what now? When do we negotiate? When will concrete numbers finally be on the table? That is also part of it. But you can’t really compare that to the current situation. But what I can say: Daniel Levy is a professional, we all have the utmost respect for him.”
