Legendary Bayern Munich midfielder Lothar Matthaus has launched an astonishing attack on Tottenham.

Mattheus, a German legend, is the latest to speak publicly about Bayern's ultimately successful transfer saga involving Harry Kane this summer.

The Bundesliga champions had to pay a mammoth £100 million for a player over 30 with one year left on his contract.

“Those in charge at Bayern were and are 100 percent convinced of Harry Kane," the ex-Inter Milan player told Sky90.

“And that's why they stretched themselves, that's why they pushed their limits.

“And maybe Bayern has also - in quotation marks - been a little blackmailed by Tottenham. Another million more, and a little bit more. They wanted this player.

“And I say - 100 million for a 30-year-old - Lewandowski was three years older when he left and went to Barcelona for around €50 million (£42m) - I now assume it will pay off."
