Harry Kane has reportedly agreed terms to join German giants Bayern Munich<\/a> leaving a hole to fill for new Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou<\/a> ahead of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

While there's been no official statement on the transfer, Tottenham accepted a $AUD168 million bid from Bayern for Kane, with reports stating the star has agreed to terms with the team and has been given the green light by Spurs to conduct a physical with his new team.<\/p>\n

Kane was in the final year of his contract and has been linked to an exit for some time, even though he showed fine form scoring a hat-trick in 55 minutes before being replaced against Shakhtar in what was Postecoglou's first match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

After the final whistle, Kane clapped the fans on each side of the stadium, however\ufeff Postecoglou denied it was a final goodbye from the star to the club's supporters.<\/p>\n

"You are reading something into it, aren't you," he said. "I don't even know what's in Harry's mind, let alone anyone else's. I think all these things will obviously play out over the next period, we'll deal with what happens from there."<\/p>\n

Kane reached the Champions League final with Tottenham in 2019. However, he has never lifted a major trophy at the club and the team's progress has stalled. An eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season meant Tottenham failed to qualify for European competition.<\/p>\n

The three-time Premier League top scorer could be the key to revitalising Bayern, which lacked a focused goal-scoring threat through the center last season after Robert Lewandowski left for Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Bayern needed goal difference to beat Borussia Dortmund to the German title on the final day of a turbulent season in which its top Bundesliga scorer was Serge Gnabry with 14 goals. Two years ago, Lewandowski scored a record 41 goals.<\/p>\n

However, there will be pressure to succeed immediately. Bayern\u2019s last high-profile signing from the Premier League, Sadio Man\u00e9, was widely considered a flop after his arrival from Liverpool a year ago.<\/p>\n

Man\u00e9\u2019s departure for Saudi Arabia\u2019s Al-Nassr and the sale of defender Lucas Hern\u00e1ndez to Paris Saint-Germain helped to free up funds to sign Kane.<\/p>\n

Kane\u2019s move is also a symbolic moment for the England team, whose players are generally reluctant to leave the riches of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

No permanent England captain has played for a club outside England since David Beckham at Real Madrid in 2006. England\u2019s squad for its most recent games was entirely Premier League-based after Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham withdrew injured.<\/p>\n

Tottenham\u2019s first game of the new season is at Brentford on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
