Bayern Munich signing Harry Kane presented to local media: I'm here to push my limits

Harry Kane is delighted to now be a Bayern Munich player.

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

At his media presentation today, Kane said: "I've always wanted to push my limits and improve, and see how far that can take me. Ultimately, I wanted to be playing at the highest level, to be playing in the Champions League, fighting for titles every year. Coming to Bayern, one of the biggest clubs in the world, gives me that opportunity.

"It was a busy couple of days, a busy week. This is my first transfer; it was an up and down experience for sure but I'm happy to be here now. I wish Tottenham all the best, Daniel Levy all the best, but my focus is here now and trying to help this team.

"I spent my whole career in England and the Premier League so it may take a bit of adapting to get used to a new league. I'm playing against different teams. As you saw yesterday with Leipzig, there are some great teams in this league and it is going to be a real challenge. I know people expect Bayern to win the league every year, but I think teams are improving and it is getting tougher.

"For me it is about settling in, getting as comfortable as possible and understanding the different teams and how I need to adapt."

He added, "For me it is about trying to help the team as much as possible. Being a goalscorer, people are expecting me to do that.

"I've only been here two days. I'm still getting to know the players but one of the reasons I joined is because we have amazing talent. If I get a good connection, I'll score goals."
