Kane wins first ever trophySon delighted for Bayern starCongratulated his old team-mateFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Kane finally picked up the first trophy of his professional career as Bayern lifted the Bundesliga title earlier this month. Soon after that momentous achievement, South Korean star Son – who played alongside Kane for eight years at Spurs – contacted the 31-year-old to congratulate him on this milestone. He also revealed just how "happy" he was for the England captain.

He told The Guardian: "I texted Harry and he called me back on a video call. I was really happy to see him happy. He is one of my best friends and to see a once teammate achieve so much, I was delighted for him like he’s my family. With that positive energy I hope he can support Spurs in the game as well, so we can achieve a good result like his.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Now that Kane has got that trophy monkey off his back, the former Tottenham ace will no doubt want Son to end Spurs' 17-year wait for silverware when they face Manchester United in the Europa League final next week. After nearly 10 years at the club, that would be a fitting way to repay the faith Son has shown the north London outfit over the years.
