A big-money move has taken him to Bayern Munich, with the prolific frontman having already found the target on three occasions through two Bundesliga appearances. He is also now the proud father of four children, but his family are yet to join him in Germany on a permanent basis as everyone in the Kane family adjusts to serious change on professional and personal fronts.
WHAT THEY SAID
Kane has told of settling in to life at Bayern – with a brace bagged on his home debut for the club against Augsburg: I’ve been here a few weeks now and I’ve been loving the chemistry that we’ve built. That will only grow more and more as we play. Every day we are learning in training, every match we learn more and more about each other. We’ve got some fantastic quality in the side so naturally you feed off each other anyway. It’s been a crazy few weeks for sure. All positive, all amazing stuff. I’m really excited with it all [and it’s] an experience which will live with me forever. [My family] is back in London at the moment, they’ll be over in a few weeks. It’ll be great to be with them in Munich.”

Kane has made a positive impression on his new team-mates at the Allianz Arena, with Leon Goretzka saying of Spurs and England’s all-time leading scorer: “He’s a world-class footballer and a wonderful guy. You notice his aura immediately in the dressing room. He helps us extremely, he’s a leader.”
