The forward made the move to Bayern Munich only weeks ago, which surprised many given how close he was to the all-time Premier League goalscoring record. At 30, Kane is now at the peak of his powers and is poised to spend several years in Germany. He had spent the entirety of his career at Tottenham, establishing himself as one of the world's elite strikers, but his efforts with the north Londoners have resulted in no silverware. Kane is expected to win honours at the Allianz Arena but didn't leave solely to pick up trophies. "That was pretty much the main reason [for leaving Spurs]. There's a lot of talk about trophies and of course, I want to win trophies. But that wasn't the only reason I went to Bayern Munich. I felt that I needed to be playing at the highest level if I ultimately wanted to improve. "If I want to be around the best strikers and best players in the world then I need to be playing in the Champions League and fighting for titles. I just felt last season went well for me personally [he scored 30 league goals] but not for Spurs as a team. I felt it was time to take another step and take another challenge. The thing I have felt most since I've been at Bayern Munich is the pressure. It's not just wanting to win; you have to win." Kane missed out on his first chance of silverware as the Bavarians were surprisingly beaten in the German Super Cup, but the England star has helped Thomas Tuchel's side win their opening four games, scoring in home and away wins as he begins to justify his hefty fee. Bayern spent a club-record sum to get Kane out of Tottenham, who has seen a host of his international team-mates pick up trophies, some on a regular basis. He and Kyle Wa){kind=link}
