Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen has now issued a message to Harry Kane after his latest goal in the Champions League.
It was another positive night in Europe’s elite competition for the Tottenham record goalscorer as he found the back of the net from the spot.
Harry Kane went into the game having scored in the quarter finals against Arsenal to knock his old rivals out of the competition.
But he and his Bayern Munich side faced perhaps the toughest challenge of them all in playing Real Madrid in the semi finals.
However, Bayern were able to come from behind to take a 2-1 lead in the second half which was provided by a brilliant Kane penalty.
The Bundesliga giants had to settle for a draw in the end but former Spurs defender Vertonghen took to social media to share his thoughts on Kane.

And it is apparent that Vertonghen has not forgotten his Tottenham roots as he continues to cheer on his former club and teammates.

The goal on Tuesday night marked his 43 of the season having now played 43 times across all competitions.
After he netted against Madrid on Tuesday night, Vertonghen took to social media platform X to simply say, “H” accompanied by the heart eyes emoji.
