As per reports, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy agreed to a total package of £120m with add-ons. Although, Harry is one of the tweeters who addressed his former club and next shared about the warm welcome he received in Munich Germany. 

“It’s not a goodbye because you never know how things pan out in the future,” Kane said in a video on X, previously known as Twitter. “But it’s a thank you and I’ll see you soon,” he added.

The 30-year-old is understood to have wanted his future resolved before the start of the English Premier League (EPL) season, with Spurs facing Brentford in their first game on Sunday.
