Bayern Munich signing Harry Kane says it was the right time to leave Tottenham.

The former Tottenham star signed for Bayern yesterday morning before making his debut in their German Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig.

He said, "It was always going to be a tough decision. I was at Tottenham for 19 years of my life; the club is connected with me. Ultimately, I'm a professional, I've always pushed myself to my limits and the time was right.

"People will talk about Shearer and the record. I've got plenty of football left in my career, for now it is about reaching new levels with this club right now."

Kane also said of speaking German: "Just one word - Servus (hello). I'll have German lessons at least once or twice a week. I want to fit in as much as possible and learning the language is important and I'm willing to try.

"Of course I'm going to try and learn German, I want to try and embrace the culture, embrace the country so I'll be having lessons to try and pick that it up.

"We have a lot of English speaking players and staff around the club so that helps me but I want to fit in as much as possible and the best way to do that is by understanding the language.

"It will be tough, I've heard it's a tough language to learn but it's something I'm willing to try."
