Harry Kane claims his desire to ‘push his limits’ led to him leaving Tottenham as he reveals he has yet to say a proper goodbye to his Spurs teammates after a £100m move to Bayern Munich
Harry Kane revealed during his first Bayern Munich press conference that his desire to “pull his limits” was the reason behind his decision to leave Tottenham to join the German champions.
Kane completed his £100 million move on Saturday morning, saying goodbye to the club he’s represented for nearly two decades.
The 30-year-old acknowledged it was a “tough decision” to move on, but felt he had to put his personal ambition first at this stage of his career.
“It will always be a difficult decision. Tottenham is a club that is connected to my heart. But I want to win titles and felt it was the right time,” Kane said at his unveiling as a Bayern player on Sunday afternoon.
“I’ve always wanted to push my limits and see how far that could take me. I want to fight for the Champions League, I want to fight for titles. I look forward to that challenge.’

Kane’s transfer to Bayern has been one of the most important stories of this summer, with fans wondering whether he would get his dream move or stay at Spurs for another year to complete his contract.
Even as a deal was reached between the two clubs on Thursday night, there was still some uncertainty as to whether Kane would finally be given the green light to travel to Munich to complete his move.
The striker admitted he’d had a whirlwind week, revealing he hadn’t even had a chance to properly say goodbye to his Spurs teammates before his departure.
‘I didn’t get the chance. For sure, in the next few weeks, when I get a chance to go back, I will go back and say hello to everyone properly,” he said.
Kane made his debut for Bayern just hours after arriving at the club on Saturday, but got off to the worst possible start as his side were beaten 3-0 by RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.

Kane admitted it was a disappointing start to his life in Germany as his well-documented trophy drought continued.
However, he has called on the German giants not to panic and still believes they can compete for any major trophy on offer this season.
“The team got off to a bad start yesterday, we conceded early which is never easy and I think it damaged some of the confidence of the players.
“I see players with great quality, great personality. Hopefully with the addition of me, some more leadership, we can help the team as well.
“It’s no time to panic, it’s a long season ahead.
“For me (the goal is) to try and win every title we have this season. That is the goal we want to see at Bayern Munich.
“I think when we get to the end of the season and we haven’t won every trophy, the club will be a little disappointed.”
