Harry Kane opens up on 'long journey' to first career title with Eric Dier as Bayern Munich striker hails Vincent Kompany's 'special group'

England captain Kane completed a big-money transfer to Germany in the summer of 2023. He severed career-long ties with Tottenham at that stage - having become their all-time leading goalscorer - with trophy-winning ambition taking him away from his homeland.

Fellow England international and ex-Spurs team-mate Dier made his own move to the Allianz Arena in January 2024, on an initial loan agreement. He has helped Kane to break his trophy curse in 2025.

Bayern are Bundesliga champions again, with Kane telling the club’s official website of that achievement: “It feels amazing. We put in a lot of hard work over the season, dedicated ourselves physically and mentally, and then there’s nothing better than celebrating when you’ve won something together. It’s a special group – the players and the staff. It’s the first trophy in my career, so it feels that extra bit sweet.”

Kane celebrated into the early hours of the morning after seeing Bayern’s coronation confirmed. He drank champagne and smoked cigars with Dier, with the 31-year-old adding on an emotional evening: “We watched the game together. After the final whistle, the emotions were running high and I immediately hugged Eric. We’ve had a long journey together. It was just something special.

“There were a lot of emotions, a lot of feelings in that moment and still are now. I’ve been playing football for a very long time and it’s taken a while, but it’s just a great feeling and I’m proud of everyone who was involved.”

While Dier is preparing to leave Munich, as he heads to Monaco this summer, Kane has vowed to stick around for at least more season - amid Premier League transfer talk - and help Bayern to defend their domestic crown in 2025-26.
