Harry Kane has joined Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in a €110 million move from Tottenham.
The England captain signs a four-year deal with the Bundesliga champions and could make his debut in Saturday's German Super Cup versus RB Leipzig.
Kane leaves Spurs as their all-time top goalscorer, with 280 goals in 435 games.
Arguably their greatest ever player, he will be virtually impossible to replace, and Ange Postecoglou's side could suffer without him.

How Tottenham will line up WITHOUT Harry Kane
Tottenham have signed 26-year-old Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli to be their starting goalkeeper, having let go of Hugo Lloris.
Emerson Royal and Destiny Udogie, who arrived from Udinese this summer, will occupy the full-back positions.
While Cristian Romero and new signing Micky van de Ven will play in the centre of the defence. Spurs are also linked with Bayer Leverkusen's Edmond Tapsoba.

In midfield, former Brighton star Yves Bissouma, who struggled last season, is expected to feature regularly under Postecoglou.
Rodrigo Bentancur will partner him when he returns from injury, but it could be Pape Matar Sarr until then.
James Maddison's arrival from relegated Leicester is an excellent piece of business and he will be a perfect fit in the 'number 10' position.
Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski will need to improve their attacking output from the wings in order to make up for the departure of Kane.
And centre forward Richarlison will need to step up more than anyone if Spurs are to have a successful season.
