England captain Harry Kane has completed his move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, as it has been announced by both clubs.

Kane was entering his final year of Spurs contract and the English club decided to sell their prized asset as no contract renewal talks materialized between Kane and Tottenham. The Englishman has joined Bayern for a reported fee of £100 million and has penned a four-year deal at the Munich outfit.

Kane travelled to Germany on Friday night for a medical and the Bundesliga giants confirmed on Saturday he had signed a deal until June 2027 and will wear the number nine shirt.

"I'm very happy to be a part of FC Bayern now," Kane said.

"Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I've always said that I want to compete and prove myself at the highest level during my career. This club is defined by its winning mentality - it feels very good to be here," he added.

Shortly before his transfer was announced, Kane himself took to social media for a goodbye message for the Tottenham fans.

Spurs boss Angie Postecoglou had revealed on Friday that Kane's move was "imminent" after a breakthrough in negotiations between the clubs was reached on Wednesday night.

It left the ball in Kane's court and he decided on Thursday to leave his boyhood club for Bayern, who will pay an initial £100m with add-ons potentially taking the deal up to an overall fee of £120 million.

Kane leaves Spurs with 280 goals to his name and the highest scorer for the London club, but is leaving England without a single silverware to his name.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy told the club's website- "We sought over a long period of time to engage Harry and his representatives in several forms of contract extension, both short and long term. Harry was clear, however, that he wanted a fresh challenge and would not be signing a new contract this summer. We have reluctantly, therefore, agreed to his transfer."
