Tottenham’s season has gotten off to a rocky start, with the team currently sitting 9th in the Premier League. As they compete in both the EFL Cup and the Europa League, calls for improvement are growing louder. With Ange Postecoglou entering his second season, the pressure to secure silverware has never been greater.

In August 2023, Harry Kane made the emotional decision to leave his boyhood club, Tottenham Hotspur, to join Bayern Munich. For Spurs fans, it marked the end of an era, as they had witnessed Kane’s journey from a promising academy player to one of the world’s top strikers.

Why the sudden change

As England captain, Kane left Tottenham as their all-time top scorer, having surpassed Jimmy Greaves’ legendary record in his final months at the club. His departure, though his pursuit of new challenges, and he has continued to impress in Bavaria with Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich eventually submitted an £82 million bid, though Tottenham were reluctant to part with Harry Kane. However, chairman Daniel Levy, known for his financial prudence, was wary of losing Kane on a free transfer, as his contract was set to expire in 2024. With no assurance that the record-breaking striker would sign an extension, Levy had to make a tough decision.

Kane had declined to commit to a new deal over the summer, uncertain about Spurs’ future under Ange Postecoglou. While he was open to reconsidering at the season’s end if the team showed promise, Levy wasn’t willing to take that gamble. He made that clear in a statement when the transfer was finalized.

Harry Kane, once Tottenham’s biggest star, played 435 matches and contributed to 341 goals during his time at the club. Now, as Bayern Munich’s talisman, he has already made an impressive impact, contributing to 74 goals in just 54 matches. It seems Kane is on a quest for records. As the England captain, he earns an astounding £416,000 per week.
