The England captain is hoping to experience great success with the German champions after a agreeing record transfer from Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane has paid an emotional farewell to Tottenham after revealing he has completed a deal to become Bayern Munich's star striker.
Kane completed his medical in Bavaria on Friday after Bayern agreed a £100m fee with Tottenham for the England captain and was unveiled as the club's newest arrival on Saturday morning.
Posting a heart-warming goodbye message on social media on Saturday morning, Kane said: “Hi everyone, I wanted to be the first to tell you Tottenham fans that I will be leaving the club today [Saturday].”
“Obviously a lot of emotions going through me right now. Sad to be leaving the club I have spent nearly 20 years of my life at.
“From an 11-year-old boy to a 30-year-old man now there's been so many great moments and special memories, memories that I'll cherish forever.
“This is a thank you to all my team-mates over the years, all my coaches, all the managers, every single staff member to do with the club from the kitmen to the chefs, everyone involved,” he added.
“Obviously I have built special relationships with a lot of people and most importantly a thank you to you the Tottenham fans.
"From the moment I've been playing I have been one of your own and have given everything that I possibly could to make you proud and give you as many special moments and memories to hopefully last forever.
“So I felt like this was the time to leave, I didn't want to go into the season with a lot of unresolved future talk. I think it's important for the new manager and players to concentrate on trying to get Tottenham back to around the top of the table and fighting for trophies,” said Kane.
“I wish Ange [Postecoglou] and all the boys all the very best of luck, honestly I'll be watching as a fans' point of view now and really hope the team can be successful.
“This is a message to every single Tottenham fan around the world that supported me and has been supporting me throughout my journey, me and my family will cherish it forever, we'll never forget all the moments we've had together so thank you.
“I'll be watching this season, good luck to Tottenham, good luck to the whole club and yeh it's not a goodbye because you never know how things pan out in the future but it's a thank you and I will see you soon," he added.
Bayern responded to Kane's video message moments later as they unveiled the potent Premier League goalscorer had joined the club in a video montage.
Kane, dressed in a smart tuxedo walks into a German cinema and sits down before dramatically turning to the camera and saying: “And action.”
The club later posted more official confirmation of Kane's arrival with Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen stating: “It's been a long process, but now we're all the happier that Harry Kane will be wearing the Bayern Munich shirt with immediate effect.”
“Harry Kane was our absolute dream player right from the start. 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. Our fans can look forward to one of the best goalscorers of our time.”
The former Spurs star similarly explained his feelings after signing a four-year contract until 2027 and taking up the number nine shirt previously worn by Robert Lewandowski.
Kane said: “I'm very happy to be a part of FC Bayern now. 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."
