Harry Kane admits adapting to Bundesliga may take time after Bayern Munich switch

Harry Kane has admitted it may take him time to adapt to German football after completing his “roller-coaster” move to Bayern Munich.

The England captain left Premier League Tottenham Hotspur after 19 years in North London in a deal reported to be worth around €100 million.

Kane notched 280 goals in 435 games for Spurs and is also England's all-time leading goalscorer with 58 strikes in 84 caps but his first game for his new club ended in defeat.

The 30-year-old came on as a 64th-minute substitute in a 3-0 defeat to Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday after being confirmed as a Bayern player earlier in the day.

“Obviously, I've spent my whole career, my whole life, in England and in the Premier League so it might take a bit of adapting to get used to a new league,” he said after being unveiled before the press on Sunday.

“For me it's just about settling in, as comfortable as possible, understanding the different types of teams, the way I have to play and adapt. I've done that throughout my whole career, whether it's with Tottenham or the national team and I'll do that here.”

It was a race against time for Kane to be registered in time to play after his flight to Germany and subsequent medical was delayed after Spurs went back to the negotiating table at the last minute.

The deal eventually got done, though Kane admits he was left sweating for a while. “It was obviously a busy couple of days, a busy week, this is my first transfer that have been involved in, it was an up-and-down experience for sure, but I am happy to be here now,” he said.

“I wish Tottenham all the best, I wish [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy all the best, but my focus is here now and trying to help this team and I am just happy we managed to do it
