Bayern Munich are eyeing a shock deal for a former team-mate of Harry Kane's as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his squad to ensure the German giants stay on course for the title this season.
The Bavarian outfit are trailing in the race for the title with Leverkusen topping the table on 42 points, while Bayern are four points behind with a game in hand.
Winning the title should be the minimum expectation for the German side this season as they also bid to win the Champions League - having already been dumped out of the German Cup in a stunning defeat by minnows Saarbrucken.
