Bundesliga: These are the most expensive newcomers of all time

After the tough exchange poker, Harry Kane was impatient and flirted with Bayern’s first goals in the Supercup. “Honestly, I can’t wait to show my qualities on the pitch, hopefully score a lot of goals and make the fans happy,” said Bayern Munich’s new star striker. England’s national team captain announced in a club video on Saturday: “In all likelihood I’ll be in the Supercup and hopefully be able to play.” The official announcement of the multi-million transfer was made almost eleven hours before the first competitive game of the Bundesliga soccer club from Munich. Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur confirmed the move on Saturday morning, meaning that the 30-year-old is eligible to play in the Supercup game in the evening (8:45 p.m.) between the German soccer champions and DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig.

“I’m very happy to be part of FC Bayern now,” said the player. “FC Bayern is characterized by its winning culture – it feels very good to be here.” With emotional words, Kane said goodbye to the fans of his previous club Tottenham Hotspur almost at the same time.

“I wanted to be the first to tell you Tottenham fans that I’m leaving the club today,” said the English football star in a video posted to his Instagram account. The farewell was very emotional for him and he was sad to leave the club where he spent almost 20 years of his life – “from the 11-year-old boy to the 30-year-old man”, as he put it. But: “I had the feeling that it was time to go.”

For Bayern, several weeks of poker for the most expensive purchase in Bundesliga history ended on the day of the first competitive game. Bayern beat their own record in terms of transfer fees.
