Harry Kane gives his verdict on new Bayern Munich signing Jonathan Tah after defender arrives on free transfer from Bayer Leverkusen

Tah completed the move to the Bundesliga champions this week, being given permission to leave Leverkusen before his contract expired so that he can represent his new side at the Club World Cup.

Tah played a crucial role as Leverkusen went unbeaten to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal crowns in the 2023-24 season, while they lost in the Europa League final. He initially agreed to join Bayern a year ago, but has revealed that the "natural aura" of then-coach Xabi Alonso convinced him to stay for one more year.

With the move now finalised, Bayern's star striker Kane is delighted to have the Germany international on board, saying on Cleats Club: "I think he's a great signing. Obviously I played against him a lot in the last two years and he has everything you want in a centre-back, big, strong, got presence, great on the ball. He's a great addition to the team. I'm looking forward to meeting up at the Club World Cup and getting our journey started together."

Bayern's Club World Cup campaign will start on June 15 with a match against Auckland City. They will also then take on Boca Juniors and Benfica in the group stage.
