'He's done his job in the Premier League'
Speaking to in Germany, Matthaus said: "He's never been better, and he's made an even bigger impact here. I don't think Shearer's [Premier League] record is a motivation. He's done his job in the Premier League, and therefore, he should end his career at Bayern. If he wants to earn some money afterwards, he can move to Saudi Arabia. But I think Kane still has a few good years ahead of him at the very highest level."
