Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou admits Harry Kane move to Bayern Munich is 'imminent'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich is “imminent” with the striker heading to Germany to finalise his move.

The Bundesliga champions have reportedly agreed a €100 million deal for the 30-year-old England captain which could potentially rise by €20m with add-ons.

Kane has 280 goals in 435 games for Spurs and is also England's all-time top goalscorer with 58 strikes in 84 caps.

His 213 goals from 320 games means he needs just 48 more to break Alan Shearer's Premier League scoring record, and Kane won the Golden Boot three times – in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2020-21.

However, he is yet to win a major trophy at club or international level and is now into the last 12 months of the his current Spurs contract meaning he would leave for nothing next summer.

“Fair to say I don't have a blow-by-blow account but my understanding is it has progressed to the point where it looks like it will happen,” said Postecoglou, ahead of Spurs' opening game of the Premier League season at Brentford on Sunday.

“But moving forward and training today preparing for Brentford, we are doing it without Harry.

“It is best Harry speaks for himself in terms of the decision but no doubt he is
