Kane arrives in Germany ahead of 'imminent' Bayern move

The two clubs have reportedly agreed a fee worth an initial 100 million euros ($110 million, £86 million) for the 30-year-old, who had just one year left on his contract at Spurs.

Kane was given permission to travel to Germany to complete a medical ahead of what would be a record transfer for a Bundesliga club. He arrived by plane in the early evening for his exam in central Munich, an 'AFP' photographer said.

Postecoglou is preparing to take charge of his first Premier League game in charge of Tottenham at Brentford on Sunday and said he is now planning on life without the club's all-time top goalscorer.

"My understanding is it has progressed to the point where it looks like it will happen," said Postecoglou at his pre-match press conference.

"From that perspective at least it gives us some clarity and we move forward without Harry. From my perspective it is just about understanding where we are at and the information I have at the moment is the deal is imminent, but like with all these things, you leave yourself some leeway.

Golden boot

Kane has scored more than 20 league goals in all but three of the past nine Premier League seasons, winning the Golden Boot on three occasions.

Despite finishing second in last season's Premier League scoring charts behind Erling Haaland (36), Kane netted 30 league goals in 2022-23, equalling his best mark.

Bayern were eliminated by eventual winners Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season and only won the Bundesliga title on goal difference thanks to a final-day capitulation from Borussia Dortmund.

Kane had been linked with a move away from his boyhood club two years ago but Manchester City failed in their pursuit. He sat out the first match of that season - coincidentally against City - but Pep Guardiola's side never got close to agreeing a fee with Tottenham for the forward.
