Harry Kane's Thirst For Trophies Behind Bayern Munich Move

Harry Kane said on Sunday his desire to end a personal quest for silverware was behind the decision to join German giants Bayern Munich from Tottenham.

Kane left Spurs in a deal worth an initial 100 million euros ($110 million, 86 million pounds) on Saturday after spending his whole career with his boyhood club.

The 30-year-old leaves as Tottenham's record goalscorer with 280 goals and is also England's all-time top scorer at international level.

However, he is yet to win a single trophy for club or country. Tottenham's eighth-placed finish in the Premier League last season meant Kane was also facing a season without European football had he stayed in north London. "I think I've always said in my career I've wanted to keep improving, keep pushing myself to you know my limits and see how far that can take me," said Kane at a press conference at Bayern's Allianz Arena. "Ultimately I wanted to be playing at the highest level, I wanted to be playing in the Champions league, I wanted to be fighting for titles every year. "So to come to Bayern Munich, one of the biggest clubs in the world, goes with that opportunity so I'm looking forward to that challenge." Bayern have won the Bundesliga for the past 11 years.
