emotional news : Tottenham star player confirms Bayern Munich transfer in emotional video and Tottenham release statement.
Harry Kane has confirmed his move to Bayern Munich in an emotional video message to Tottenham fans.
The 30-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the German giants after Spurs struck a deal worth more than £100million.
It puts an end to nearly 20 years at Tottenham where he scored 280 and became the club’s record goalscorer.
On Saturday morning he posted a message on his social media accounts in which he said: “I wanted to be the first to tell you Tottenham fans that I’ll be leaving the club today.
“Obviously a lot of emotions going through me right now; sad to be leaving the club I’ve spent nearly 20 years of my life at, from 11-year-old boy to a 30-year-old man now.
“There’s been so many great moments and special memories, memories that I will cherish forever.

“I felt like it was the time to leave. I didn’t want to go into the season with a lot of unresolved future talk.”
Tottenham also confirmed the move and chairman Daniel Levy paid tribute to the England captain.
Levy said: “We sought over a long period of time to engage Harry and his representatives in several forms of contract extension, both short and long term. Harry was clear, however, that he wanted a fresh challenge and would not be signing a new contract this summer. We have reluctantly, therefore, agreed to his transfer.
“We have seen a product of our Academy system become one of the best players to ever pull on a Spurs shirt and become one of world football’s elite strikers. It has been a truly remarkable journey.
