Al Hilal are weighing up whether to make a move for Harry Kane despite the striker heading to Germany for a medical.

Kane is set to undergo the formalities of his move but we are told that the Saudi Pro League are looking to make a considerable offer to Tottenham to snatch the England captain from the Bundesliga club.

We understand that Al Hilal will offer Spurs double what Bayern have paid for the forward - some £100million - while they will increase Kane's £400,000 Bayern salary tenfold, meaning that the 31-year-old would make £4m per week.

They are prepared to offer a one-year bumper contract to Kane, in a similar fashion to Kylian Mbappe's offer earlier this window from the club.

Indeed, sources tell us that the move will just be a year, after which Kane would be able to move to another club.

Kane agreed to join Bayern and has flown to their HQ ahead of a medical. Any deal would take a considerable amount of effort from Al Hilal, but we are told they are prepared to pay handsomely if it meant earning the Premier League legend.

There is no indication yet that Kane would consider a switch to Saudi Arabia, with his decision to move to Bayern being down to being able to win significant silverware.
