Harry Kane has a golden chance to win his first-ever senior trophy barely 12 hours after signing for Bayern Munich.
The former Tottenham star put pen to paper on a four-year contract on Saturday after completing a deal that will see Spurs receive a reported €110 million from the Bundesliga giants.
And after so many fruitless seasons striving to bring silverware to north London, Kane may well be in line for an immediate upturn in fortunes.

On Saturday Bayern face off against RB Leipzig in the DFL Supercup, the traditional curtain-raiser to the German season between the winner of the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal.
And despite only completing his transfer on the morning of the game, Kane is reportedly in contention for inclusion in Bayern's match-day squad.
Can Kane end tortured run?
Should his new club prevail, the striker would finally get his hands on his first senior title, on the very same day he cut ties with Tottenham after almost two decades.
Kane has come close to glory, losing out to Liverpool in the 2018-19 Champions League football with Spurs while also finishing runner-up on two occasion in the Carabao Cup. He also experienced the agony of losing in the Euro 2020 final, when England went down to Italy on penalties.
He will certainly be taking nothing for granted against Leipzig, who would like nothing better than to extend his drought - though given Bayern's decade-long dominance in Germany, it is hard to see that run continuing much longer.
