New Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has penned an emotional note to Tottenham Hotspur fans after he completed his big-money move to the German giants on Saturday, August 12. Spurs were paid a whopping $100 million plus for the services of Kane as he switched alliances from the Premier League to the Bundesliga. He is likely to make his debut for the German champions on Saturday against RB Leipzig.
Harry Kane has shared a video message saying goodbye to Tottenham, as Bayern Munich prepare to announce his arrival.
“Hi everyone, I wanted to be the first to tell you Tottenham fans that I will be leaving the club today,” he said. “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 an 11-year-old boy to a 30-year-old man.”
Hard to put into words how to say goodbye to a club and fans who have done so much for me in my career,” a caption, shared alongside the video, read. “You will always be in my heart. Thank you Tottenham, thank you Tottenham fans.
The online trolling of Harry Kane began as soon as the full-time whistle blew in Bayern Munich’s shock DFB-Pokal second-round loss to third-tier Saarbrucken. Having already suffered defeat in the the DFL-Supercup in his very first outing for the Bavarians back in August, this latest blow in his bid to lift a team trophy for the first time in a 14-year professional career was viewed as further evidence of Kane being cursed; destined to retire without any major honours to his name.
What the keyboard warriors found particularly amusing was the fact that Kane had quit Tottenham during the summer in a desperate pursuit of silverware – and yet the north Londoners now sit proudly on top of the Premier League.
And there would certainly be a cruel irony in Spurs winning the title for the first time since 1961 the season after the loss of their all-time leading scorer.
So, has Kane made a monumental error? Has he left Tottenham at precisely the wrong time? And for the wrong club?
