The two England legends clashed over the past week, with Michael Owen claiming it was “nuts” that Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich with the Premier League all-time goalscoring record well within reach.
Kane fired back: “I heard it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’ve spent a bit of time with him [Owen] but don’t know him well. 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 quarterfinal.
“I feel I’m improving as a player, I’m pushing my limits as a player in terms of goalscoring and just improving. 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.”
