Harry Kane was once seen as a 'one-season wonder' when he burst onto the scene for Tottenham Hotspur in 2014 but as the England captain leaves to ply his trade abroad for the first time in his career, the Premier League bids goodbye to one of its greatest.

Nearly a decade later, with 280 goals in 435 appearances for Tottenham -- which includes three Premier League Golden Boots for top scorer of the season -- Kane departs as the north London club's all-time leading scorer. Tottenham were in contention for the Premier League title in the 2015-2016 but ended up third behind Leicester City and Arsenal. The next season they finished second behind Chelsea and in 2019 lost the Champions League final to Liverpool.
And so the 30-year-old striker, who signed two long-term contract extensions with Spurs in the past -- the last being a six-year deal in 2018 -- finally decided to make a move. The move to Bayern increases Kane's chances of winning silverware, with the German club having won the Bundesliga every year - 11 times in a row - since the English striker made his Premier League debut.Bayern's consistency in the Champions League, where deep runs are par for the course, is something that will challenge Kane as a player who wants to challenge the elite in Europe rather than making up the numbers in the competition.
