Why Bayern Munich need to sign Harry Kane

I will sound like a hypocrite, but after previously having made the argument that Bayern Munich should not sign Kane, I will argue the opposite in today's post.

I am going to admit this from the start; writing this article will make me sound like a hypocrite. After all, it was just a few months ago that I strongly debated against Bayern Munich needing to sign Harry Kane. Those arguments at the time seemed valid and perhaps still are to the present day. 

After all, Kane will cost Bayern at least €100 million. That is just the transfer fee. An expected five-year deal, plus a sign-on bonus, plus the agent fee, and the entire package will be at least €250m. The most Bayern have ever paid for a player in the entire club’s history. 

That is a shocking amount of money for a soon-to-be 30-year-old striker, who, despite scoring 30 goals in the Premier League, has also struggled when it comes to scoring in the Champions League last season. In fact, the one goal scored in eight Champions League appearances for Tottenham was one of my major arguments for Bayern not to sign Kane.
