Harry Kane has revealed why he decided to leave the Premier League and sign with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

Last week, the England captain's transfer saga came to an end when it was made official that he had bid farewell to his boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur to join the six-time European champions.
While Kane will go down in the Lilywhites' history books as one of their greatest-ever players, he failed to help the north Londoners win any silverware in the decade he spent with their first team.
The closest he came was the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League final, which Spurs lost to Liverpool, and the 30-year-old has now essentially credited his move to Bavaria with trying to remedy that aspect of his career.
"A lot of people talk about the trophies and why I came here, but ultimately it was to improve, to feel a new pressure of having to win titles every year, having to go far in the Champions League and pushing myself to that limit," he told Sky Sports.
"If you are winning games, if you are winning titles, if you are winning Champions League titles and I'm the one playing up front, it's more likely that I am going to be the one scoring goals, which then allows you to win other individual awards.
"We've got a long season ahead. There's a lot of pressure for Bayern Munich to win the league and go far in the Champions League, and that is what I am excited to challenge myself with. When you are at a club like Bayern Munich, you have to win. There are no questions about it
"It's hard to put a number on how many trophies you want to win, but I have always said throughout my whole career I never want to retire and feel like I could have done more or I could have pushed myself a little bit more.

"That was a big part of the decision-making process of coming to Bayern Munich because, to improve and to get better, I had to be playing at the highest level.
