Harry Kane has spoken about his move to Bayern Munich. Kane said that his choice to leave Tottenham and join Bayern Munich was not a spur of the moment decision. But, it was rather one he had pondered earlier in his career.
The England captain departed Tottenham during the summer transfer window after Bayern Munich accepted a £100 million proposal. This also meant that he moved overseas for the first time in his career.

The English striker has subsequently scored 21 goals in just 16 games for Bayern Munich. In the process, he has also ignited the Bundesliga and cemented his standing as one of the world’s most dangerous attackers.
Harry Kane decided to end his career at Tottenham by quitting his boyhood club, but he stated that relocating abroad had always been a dream of his.
According to Daily Mail, Harry Kane said, ‘It was always something I wanted to do [move abroad]. I was at spurs for 19-years but always in back of mind wanted to experience a new league, a new culture and team.’
He continued, ‘Things in football come together at the right time and Bayern were there and I was excited by the challenge I face going there. I’ve really enjoyed it, playing in a new stadium, new fanbase, and I’m happy with how I’ve started.’

The most common rationale for Harry Kane’s Premier League exit is that he wanted to win titles despite failing to do so in his career thus far. Tottenham have previously squandered opportunities to compete in the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and Champions League during Kane’s tenure at the club.
During the same time period, Bayern has become a serial winner of the Bundesliga, Champions League, and German Cup. They are likely to add additional silverware this season. If they do, Harry Kane will end his trophy drought, something he has conceded is a vital goal for both Bayern and England.

Harry Kane said, ‘The Bundesliga and Champions League are what we are setting out to win and the Euros with England we are setting out to win. The teams I am in have really good chance of winning those trophies.’
He continued, ‘The aim with England is to win Euros, we came extremely close in the last one and that made us hungrier to come back and win this one. No excuses, we want to win titles and to do so with England would be the most special feeling ever.’
Bayern Munich have started off well in both the Bundsliga and UEFA Champions League this season. Harry Kane’s inclusion has added an extra oomph to their attack. The Englishman will be hoping to win both trophies at the end of the season.
