Kane hails Son partnership as Premier League's finest after South Korean's Spurs exit
'Massive congratulations to him and his career at Tottenham,' Bayern Munich striker Kane told reporters after his side's 4-0 friendly win over former club Spurs on Thursday.
'First and foremost, a great person. I've got to know him really well as a friend, and just how humble he is and how good a guy he is.
'I think as a player, you know, we had one of the best partnerships in Premier League history. We just had that connection that we loved.
'It's a great way for his Tottenham career to end, to lift the trophy last year with the team… and now it's a new chapter for him, he'll go to LA, and I wish him all the best, and I hope to see him soon and we can catch up.'
Kane spent most of his career at Spurs after joining their academy as an 11-year-old, scoring a club record 280 goals in over 430 appearances in all competitions. The 32-year-old England captain joined German giants Bayern in August 2023.

Man United Boss Amorim Hails Sesko's 'Great Potential'
New Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has all the attributes needed to help bolster their attack, manager Ruben Amorim said as he hopes to unlock the 22-year-old Slovenian's full potential after his big-money move to Old Trafford. Sesko completed his 76.5-million-euro ($89-million) switch from German side RB Leipzig to United on Saturday, with a further 8.5 million euros in bonuses. He signed a contract until 2030 to complete a new-look front three alongside fellow close-season signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. The Slovenia international, capped 41 times, scored 39 goals in 87 appearances across all competitions for Leipzig. "He has the characteristics that we needed," Amorim told MUTV on Saturday. "Ben is a player - with all the information that we have - that we need to stop the guy from working, not the opposite! "So that is also important. He's really young. He's good in the air, he's good at running the channels, good on the ball. I think he has great potential. I think he can improve a lot and, for sure, he is going to feel at home in our club. "He has the right character to be in this group, so I'm really happy to have him." Sesko was introduced at Old Trafford before Saturday's friendly match against Italian side Fiorentina, which United won 5-4 on penalties after drawing 1-1, Reuters reported. "He is going to notice, since the first day and first training, that he is in the right place," Amorim added. "He is going to a new building (at Carrington), that is also important. Things are getting better but, in the end, we need to win games." United, who have spent around 200 million pounds ($270 million) following their 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season - their lowest in the top flight in 51 years - begin their new league campaign at home against Arsenal on August 17.

Liverpool's Uruguay striker Nunez joins Al Hilal
Liverpool's Uruguay forward Darwin Nunez has joined Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal from the Premier League champions on a three-year deal, both clubs said on Saturday. 'Al Hilal Club Company is pleased to announce the signing of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Liverpool FC on a three-year contract,' the Saudi club said on their website. 'Nunez has just joined the squad during the current pre-season training camp in Germany,' Al Hilal added. Nunez joined Liverpool in June 2022 from Benfica. Internationally, Nunez has represented the Uruguayan national team in 35 matches, scoring 13 goals and delivering three assists. Al Hilal, under former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi, became the first Asian club to defeat a Premier League side in an official match when they beat Manchester City at the Club World Cup last month. Inzaghi's new side are aiming to secure a record-extending 20th league title this season, having finished second in the Saudi Pro League last term. Their other high-profile signing of the transfer window was Theo Hernandez from AC Milan. With Reuters
