At the airport now.. Harry Kane left Tottenham and arrives in Germany for Bayern Munich after a few hours
The deal is done between the Premier League’s second top scorer and the Bundesliga winners, and after a long wait in negotiations between them, it finally ended with Harry Kane moving to Bayern Munich.
Travels Englishman Harry Kane, striker Tottenham, on Friday, to Germany for a routine medical examination at Bayern Munich, after the management of Spurs prevented him from raiding earlier in the day.
The Bundesliga champions chased the English striker all summer, before Tottenham finally agreed to part with him for £104m.
Kane was expected to travel to Germany this morning for a medical but Tottenham prevented him from boarding the plane on his way to Stansted Airport because he wanted to renegotiate the terms of the contract with the Bavarian club’s management.
The English newspaper “The Sun” reported that the problem has been settled with Tottenham now, and the London club gave its player the green light to travel.
The deal sees Tottenham receive an initial fee of £86m along with easily obtainable extras to bring the deal closer to £104m.

Kane aspires to finish all procedures to be ready for his first championship of his career, tomorrow, Saturday, when Bayern Munich plays Leipzig in the German Super Cup.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports said Kane was heading this morning to Stansted Airport, but Tottenham had asked him not to travel to Munich and was currently going to a family home next to the airport to await travel permission amid attempts by Tottenham to scuttle the deal at the last minute.
Tottenham then finally released his player to go to Germany to complete his move to Bayern with the ambition of obtaining his first championship.
It is noteworthy that the England international appeared on 435 occasions with Tottenham in all competitions, and succeeded in scoring 280 goals and assisting 64 without getting any official championship with the team.
