Bayern Munich complete Harry Kane transfer from Tottenham Hotspur, England captain joins on four-year deal

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich successfully completed Harry Kane’s transfer from Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, the club announced on social media. Bayern broke the bank for Kane’s transfer with reports suggesting a 100 million euros ($110 million, £86 million) deal signed between both clubs for the 30-year-old striker.

On his Twitter handle, Harry Kane also released a video, thanking Tottenham fans for all the love and support he received over two decades. Kane said he enjoyed every moment at the club and is taking along countless memories. As he moves to the next chapter of his life, Kane said he is looking forward to continuing scoring in the German league and winning trophies.

"You will always be in my heart. Thank you, Tottenham, thank you Tottenham fans," Kane said in his video.

Upon joining Bayern, Kane said, “I'm very happy to be part of Bayern, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I've always said that I want to move and prove myself at the highest level in my career.”

After Spurs and Bayern signed a deal on Thursday, Kane was supposed to fly to Germany for the medical. Although there was a delay, the English captain and his camp finally managed to get on the flight to Munich, where he completed his transfer from Spurs to Bayern.

Harry Kane departs as Tottenham’s top goal-scorer across all competitions, with 280 goals in 435 appearances, and is also England’s top scorer with 58 goals to his name. Having made his debut in December 2011, Kane failed to win any trophy with the London-based club at domestic level and international for England.

With this, he also ends up as the player with most goals (213) in Premier League without winning a trophy.

For Bayern, this move is a winner as they finished their search of an outright striker in Kane. Following Bayern Lewandowski’s transfer to FC Barcelona the previous season, Bayern didn’t have a proper number 9.

Now, with Kane accepting personal terms, he will fill that void and begin his new journey in Germany in quest of domestic league title and the coveted Champions League.
