Former Germany midfielder Stefan Effenberg believes that VfB Stuttgat young talent Nick Woltemade is an option for Bayern Munich to replace top striker Harry Kane in the future.
"He's a forward that should be focused on Bayern Munich, definitely. Not now, but whenever Harry Kane leaves," the former Bayern captain said during a media event on the sidelines of the Club World Cup in the United States.

Kane, 31, has a contract with Bayern until 2027, while the 23-year-old Woltemade has a deal with Stuttgart until 2028.
"Nick Woltemade is a type of player and number nine that Bayern should already be thinking about. Who performs like he did in the German Cup final and so on, is already made for great ambitions," Effenberg said.
After a strong season with Stuttgart and winning the Cup title, Woltemade is now having an impressive campaign at the under-21 Euros with Germany. He's the top scorer with four goals ahead of the quarter-finals against Italy on Saturday.
He joined the U21 squad just a few days after participating in the Nations League Final Four with the senior national team.
"I think that's great, that attitude. He could have said I need to rest, it's been a long season. But this is a big tournament. You can win a title there," Effenberg praised.

Inter Milan & Italy Star Loses Temper With PSG Fans: ‘Don't Take The P*ss With Me'

Inter Milan & Italy Star Loses Temper With PSG Fans: 'Don't Take The P*ss With Me' Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi lost his temper with a group of PSG fans, taking a threatening tone during an autograph session. An Instagram video captures the moment that the 37-year-old burst out 'don't take the p*ss with me' before telling a fan he'd 'punch' them. Advertisement Inter Milan are currently in the United States for the Club World Cup. As part of their visit, the Nerazzurri are also getting the chance to meet with fans stateside. This is a rare opportunity for many fans to greet the players. Inter Defender Francesco Acerbi Threatens PSG Fans: 'Don't Take The P*ss, I'll Punch You!' PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Francesco Acerbi #15 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) At one autograph session, Inter defender Francesco Acerbi encountered fans of Paris Saint-Germain. PSG are the team that battered Inter 5-0 in the Champions League final last month. And evidently, Acerbi did not appreciate the reminder – and some taunts from one fan in particular. A PSG fan reminded the 37-year-old of his losing battle with star winger Bradley Barcola. 'Don't take the p*ss with me!' he replied. 'France are top, sure. But Barcola-Acerbi, no.'
