JAKARTA - Efforts do not betray results. That word seems to be pinned on Bayern Munich, who have not given up on Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich officially announced Kane's transfer after the England international signed a contract until, June 30, 2027.

"Welcome to Munich, Harry Kane! We are delighted with the arrival of a top quality player. This transfer requires perseverance, persistence, and perseverance. Harry Kane will not only strengthen FC Bayern, but an asset to the entire Bundesliga," Bayern president Herbert Hainer said on the club official website, Saturday, August 12.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane himself admitted that he was happy to be part of Die Roten and emphasized that he moved the club to Germany to prove himself.

"I am very happy to be part of FC Bayern at this time. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world," said Kane after being officially introduced as a new Bayern player, as reported by Antara.

"I've always said that I want to compete and prove myself at the highest level during my career. This club is known for its winning mentality, and that makes me happy to be at this club," added the striker.

Previously, Bayern and Tottenham had agreed on a transfer fee of 100 million euros plus 20 million euros added on (around IDR 1.68 trillion, IDR 336 billion) for the 30-year-old striker.

That way, Harry Kane has now become the most expensive player in Bundesliga history. He will also wear number nine at his new ​​club​​​​​​.

Bayern have struggled to find a top striker since Robert Lewandowski left Barcelona last season. However, they have now managed to sign a proven striker at both club and international level in Kane.

Kane scored 280 goals in 435 games for Tottenham and is also England's all-time leading goalscorer with 58 goals.

Unfortunately, Kane still hasn't won a major trophy at club or international level.

"It's hard to put into words how to say goodbye to the club and fans who have done so much for me in my career," Kane said in a post on the social media account X, formerly known as Twitter.

"You will always be in my heart. Thank you Tottenham, thank you Tottenham fans."
