Harry Kane insists he moved to Bayern Munich to experience the pressure of having to win silverware ahead of his side’s Bundesliga opener at Werder Bremen.

Kane, speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News, is now preparing for the start of the Bundesliga season with the German champions travelling to the Weser Stadium, and the 30-year-old is eager to make a fast start to his career in Germany, with the expectation that Bayern will retain the title.

When asked if he’s ready to hit the ground running against Werder Bremen, he said: “I think so. I had a good pre-season, a lot of training, and a lot of games, and now this week, I’ve naturally gone into the team environment and settled in really well.

“I’m excited to get the season started. Any first game of a league season is exciting because you are ready to go and eager to show what you can do.

“It’s going to be a tough game, like every game will be away from home, but I’m excited to try and show Bayern Munich and show the fans what I’ve been doing my whole career and win the game.”

Pressure of winning trophies

Much has been made of the fact that Kane has yet to win a major trophy in his professional career, but at Bayern, expectations will be high for the club to bring home silverware at the end of the season.

And Kane is eager to feel that pressure following his move from Tottenham.

“A lot of people talk about the trophies and why I came here, but ultimately it was to improve, to feel a new pressure of having to win titles every year, having to go far in the Champions League, and pushing myself to that limit,” Kane told Sky Sports News.
