Kane flourishing with Bayern
Surprised by the electric fan culture
Reflected on "special" debut in German football
WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international made a sensational move to the reigning Bundesliga champions after severing ties with boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur after the Bavarians agreed to a €100 million (£87m/$109m) transfer fee last summer. It was a chaotic 24 hours for Kane since he first landed in Germany, as he made his debut for the club just a day later, featuring in the German Supercup in a 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig. Although the night ended in disappointment, Kane was mighty impressed with the German fan culture and hailed the atmosphere as "something special."

WHAT KANE SAID
Speaking to FourFourTwo he said: "It felt amazing to make my debut. The atmosphere there was something special, and I’ve since realised that wasn’t a one-off. German football has some of the most passionate fans I’ve seen.
"I remember waiting to come on, hearing the drums and looking at all the banners and flags. It gave me goosebumps. The fan culture in Germany blew me away from the start.”
Kane will be in action with the Three Lions against Malta and North Macedonia on November 17 and 20 respectively in their two Euro 2024 qualifiers. After fulfilling his international commitments, he will travel back to Germany to face Koln with Bayern on November 24.
