Harry Kane is on the verge of becoming the most significant export from England to Germany since another England captain, Kevin Keegan, moved from Liverpool to SV Hamburg at his peak in 1977.
Kane turned 30 on Friday, a time to reflect on a fine career but one that has yet to garner any trophies.
But if all goes well on Monday when Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe meet Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, then Kane will be wearing lederhosen, drinking weissbier and heading to Bavaria imminently.
It's a left-field career move most would not have predicted, with Kane still chasing down Alan Shearer's Premier League goal record of 260 goals — stuck on 213, he needs two more years in the Premier League to overhaul that.
