Harry Kane's Journey with Bayern Munich
Harry Kane has been leading the line for German giants Bayern Munich since the summer of 2023, when the 32-year-old England striker officially left his boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur. The move cost Bayern an estimated 95 million euros, and Kane put pen to paper on a deal that ties him to the first team until 30 June 2027. His numbers in Bavaria make for stunning reading. Across 147 official matches in various competitions, at both domestic and international level, the England striker has racked up 146 goals and 33 assists. Silverware has followed too. Kane has won four official titles with the Bayern Munich first team: "the German league (twice), the German Cup and the German Super Cup".
