England captain, Harry Kane, left boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur after 19 years to join European powerhouse Bayern Munich in search of titles, the Bundesliga’s record signing said on Sunday.
The 30-year-old Kane joined Bayern on a four-year deal on Saturday for a reported 100 million euros (109.44 million dollars) plus add-ons.
He made his debut only hours later as a second-half substitute in Bayern’s 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.
Despite a stellar scoring record he has failed to win any domestic or international titles with Spurs.
“In my career I wanted to keep improving, pushing myself and see how far that can take me.
“I wanted to play internationally, in the Champions League, and fight for titles every year.
“Coming to Bayern gives me that opportunity. I am looking forward to that challenge,” Kane said in a press conference.
The striker, who has spent the majority of his career at Tottenham after joining at 11, has scored a club-record 280 goals in more than 430 appearances in all competitions.
He has also scored 58 times for his country in 84 games, making him England’s all-time record marksman.
He is also the second-highest Premier League scorer of all time with 213 goals, 47 behind Alan Shearer, but titles with club and country have so far eluded him.
