Transfer News: Harry Kane signs for Bayern Munich

-

There has been a huge transfer announcement 

Harry Kane, the England captain, has completed a move to Bayern Munich, the German champions, agreeing to a four year contract.

This transfer marks the conclusion of a record-setting spell with Tottenham Hotspur.

The transfer has been completed for an initial sum of around 100 million euros (£86.4 million), and there are additional provisions for performance-related bonuses. 

For Spurs. he has etched his name into the record books as their leading goal scorer of all time. He has netted an impressive 280 goals in a total of 435 appearances for the club.

Kane has won the Premier League Golden Boot on three occasions - in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2020-21. With 213 goals from 320 games in the English top flight, he needed just 48 more to break Alan Shearer's Premier League scoring record.

Kane, who is also England's all-time leading scorer with 58 international goals and was the top scorer at the 2018 World Cup, has never won a major trophy with club or country. You'd imagine that he'll win at least one trophy in Germany this season.

He made his debut in Bayern's Super Cup defeat against RB Leipzig.

The best reaction from Germany

Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen told the media: "He is a perfect fit for us and the club's DNA in terms of both football and character.

"World-class centre forwards have always been an important factor when FC Bayern has celebrated its greatest triumphs, and we're convinced that Harry Kane will continue this success story."

Andy is a huge Bayern fan, he told us: "This is a fantastic signing, he can lead us to another Champions League title."

What are the Spurs fans saying?

Nicholas is a Tottenham Season Ticket holder, spoke with us about potential replacements: "Within our ranks, we possess Richarlison, who could excel if provided with consistent opportunities within the team. Additionally, there's Dane Scarlett, a promising talent developed within our youth academy. Could we not afford him a similar opportunity to the one Kane received in his youth? 

"In a similar vein, Troy Parrett, who has been consistently loaned out, also deserves consideration. This approach seems more prudent than investing substantial sums in forwards who might not seamlessly integrate."

Ryan, also a Spurs fan, added: "There's no need to embark on an extravagant spending spree akin to what occurred after Gareth Bale's departure. 

"Let's exercise an element of prudence. This would Postecoglou the time to acclimate and endeavor to construct a foundation similar to the era when Pochettino established his legacy, even though it feels like a distant memory now!"

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
