After Whirlwind Day, Harry Kane Gives Green Light to Leave Tottenham for Bayern Munich on Eve of Premier League Kickoff

England loses a legend! On the eve of the 2023-24 English Premier League season, Tottenham marksman Harry Kane is reportedly gone. The Spurs striker had been the subject of transfer rumors for nearly a year with Bundesliga club Bayern Munich in hot pursuit. Tottenham received the latest $110 million transfer offer on Wednesday, which Kane initially declined (reportedly) hoping it might remain in England. After late-night calls with Bundesliga officials, he changed his tone. Spurs departs with a club legend and waves goodbye to an era of Kane at the 9-spot, and this season’s Premier League outlook instantly looks different.

Who Is Harry Kane?

The 30-year-old Englishman from Walthamstow has spent the last decade as the target man for Tottenham. He’s the club’s all-time leading goal-scorer with 280 goals, and he’s also the captain of the England National Team. He has 213 goals in Premier League play (2nd all-time), just 48 behind Alan Shearer’s record (260). And regardless of Tottenham’s slide in the past few seasons, Harry Kane is quite possibly England’s biggest soccer star of the last decade. Now, he’s moving to Germany where more goals await at Bayern.
