Kane lands in Germany with wife Kate and is whisked off for medical as he closes in on £104m Bayern transfer

HARRY KANE has finally touched down in Germany to complete his stunning £104million Bayern Munich transfer.

The Bundesliga champions chased the England captain all summer before finally having a bid accepted by Tottenham this week.

Kane flew into Germany alongside his wife Kate Goodland this afternoon.

After landing he was escorted to what is believed to be a hospital, where he was mobbed by welcoming fans.

The striker is set to undergo a medical before finalising his switch to the German champions.

The deal agreed between the clubs will see Spurs receive an initial fee of £86m plus easily attainable add-ons to round it up to £104m.

It was then up to Kane to decide his future with only one year remaining on his contract - and up until Thursday afternoon, the forward was believed to be keen on staying in North London.

But late on Thursday night, the England captain opted to move to Germany and agreed personal terms, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein.

Kane, 30, is understood to have penned a four-year deal worth £415,000 a week - more than double his Tottenham earnings.

SunSport understand Bayern believe the transfer will be officially confirmed within 24 hours.

Kane has just one year left on his current Spurs contract and had rejected a £400,000-a-week extension earlier this summer.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed the deal was on at a press conference on Friday.

He said: “It looks like Kane-Bayern is going to happen. So we move forward without Harry.

“We’ve been planning for this for a while. A lot of our business up until now was with that in mind. It doesn’t change my plans dramatically”.

Should he leave, Kane will do so as Spurs' record goalscorer after 19 years at the club, joining aged 11.

He scored 280 goals in 435 games for Spurs - 213 came in the Premier League.

That means he leaves England 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer's Premier League goalscoring record of 260.

Bayern had multiple bids rejected by Tottenham before finally settling on a fee, but they were at risk of having their deal hijacked.

Reports claimed Kane had been offered a "significantly better" contract to sign as a free agent next year by an unnamed club.

It is expected Kane will be unveiled in a press conference at some point next week before Bayern's opening Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen on Friday night.
