Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou says he is preparing for life at the cub without Kane with his move to Bayern Munich 'imminent'
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: "We sought over a long period of time to engage Harry and his representatives in several forms of contract extension, both short and long term.

Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp on the Essential Football Podcast:
"I feel sorry for Ange Postecoglou because he is the person that's trying to get his team prepared for the start of the season. And you know, we're hours away from the start of the season and his star player is going to be leaving. I mean, this could have been done a couple of months ago, a month ago, to give him the best opportunity.
"It doesn't really feel that whoever's making these decisions - Daniel Levy - is thinking what's best for the team. A new manager in the door, you want to give him everything at his disposal to make sure that he's got a great chance of pushing, trying to get back into that top four.

Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmour:
"Here in Munich, Bayern, and everyone associated with them - including some fans that we have spoken to - have been rejoicing at the fact they now have signed the England captain, one of the most elite goalscorers in world football. He's someone they are comparing to Robert Lewandowski; someone they think can make the same sort of impact Lewandowski did.
"Harry Kane had a long old day yesterday. He was waiting at the airport early in the morning, had to hold back and then eventually travelled and landed here in the evening. He went straight to a local hospital, had the first part of his medical, then went to the Bayern training ground, which is where we caught up with him and saw him waving at about 12.45am this morning.
"That was a sign that things had progressed, the medical was complete. It was shortly after that he signed the contract and he was a Bayern Munich player. He did the media stuff this morning, including an announcement video from the German champions.
"I think we're going to see Kane in action for Bayern Munich tonight. He has the chance to win a trophy on day one of his new job. He signed the contract at about 2am, his debut could come less than 24 hours after that. The last couple of days have probably been quite draining for all involved in the negotiations, but Kane has tried to keep himself ticking over and alert.
"We know he has been training as normal with Tottenham and is in good physical shape - he's the ultimate pro - so there are no concerns about throwing him in and he will wear the No 9 shirt.
Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg:
"It's difficult to describe this transfer in words. It's not just a transfer. It's getting Harry Kane, the superstar of the Premier League, the captain of the Three Lions, it would be a massive statement transfer for Bayern Munich, Germany and the Bundesliga.
