Harry Kane signs Bayern Munich contract after completing medical and could make debut on Saturday
Harry Kane has signed his Bayern Munich contract and completed a medical ahead of a £100m move from Tottenham, with the England captain hopeful of making his debut on Saturday.
Kane landed in Germany on Friday night and completed the first part of his medical at Barmherzige Bruder hospital in west Munich.
The 30-year-old underwent the second part of his medical at Bayern’s Sabener Strasse training centre.
Kane could make his Bayern debut on Saturday in the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig, which is live on Sky Sports, but he must be registered by 2pm UK time on Saturday to feature at the Allianz Arena.
Tottenham’s all-time top scorer was informed at around 3pm on Friday that his transfer to Bayern had been agreed and he could travel to Munich for his medical.
Kane’s flight took off at 4.50pm UK time and landed at 6.10pm UK time at Oberpfaffenhofen airport just outside Munich.
The deal between Tottenham and Bayern for Kane will comprise an initial £86m fee, with add-ons taking the price close to £100m – which is a Bayern and Bundesliga record fee.
After Kane was told that a deal had been agreed between the clubs on Thursday, he decided to accept Bayern’s offer.
Kane completed a medical and signed his Bayern contract at around 2am UK time on Saturday morning.
Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel described the bid to sign Kane as the club’s “highest priority” on Friday.
“We are trying to get the captain of the English national team out of England, out of the Premier League,” Tuchel added. “That says it all. It is a huge deal that we are working on, a huge signature that we are working on, but we are still in the process.”
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou also confirmed Kane’s transfer was “imminent” in his press conference on Friday.
“I had a conversation with Harry the first day I arrived, he was up front and honest and I was the same,” continued Postecoglou.
“You kind of get an indication that he had kind of made up his mind that if the clubs agreed a deal, he would go.
“It’s only fair that on a day like today our supporters do have a sense of mourning and loss, as despite the lack of success at the club, he’s been a hero to them.”
Tottenham’s season-opening Premier League game is at Brentford
Kane scored 30 Premier League goals last season in a disappointing campaign for Spurs as they finished eighth to miss out on European football, while they remain without a trophy since 2008.
Kane scored 280 goals in 435 appearances at Spurs, having scored his first in December 2011.
With 213 goals in 320 Premier League games, he is currently 48 goals off breaking Alan Shearer’s record as the highest scorer in Premier League history.
