Tottenham and Bayern Munich have agreed a deal worth €100 million, plus add-ons of €20 million for the English international, following two bids that were rejected by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
After much speculation, with many reports stating that Kane was favoring staying at his boyhood club over a move to the German giants, it has been revealed the Tottenham striker has agreed to join Bayern Munich.
The 30-year-old is expected to be traveling to Germany today to undergo a medical ahead of signing for the Munich side. It is believed Harry Kane will sign a four-year contract with the German side.
The England captain has only one year left on his deal and has apparently made it clear to the club that he would like to leave this summer. Bayern Munich are the team that have shown the most interest in his services, having already had two bids rejected.

Romelu Lukaku
Another player who is familiar with London turf is former Chelsea player Lukaku.
The 30-year-old is also enthralled in his own transfer saga with his current club Inter Milan, which may encourage Tottenham to go after the Belgian striker.
Lukaku has found himself moving from club to club for the past few years following lucrative deals from various clubs who hoped his goal-scoring abilities would come to life after signing the prolific striker.
However, after showing poor form at Chelsea and falling out with both Inter Milan and Juventus ultras, Lukaku finds himself without a club for the 2023-24 season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Tottenham will move to try and sign Lukaku from rivals Chelsea if Harry Kane leaves.
Dusan Vlahovic
Foot Mercato are reporting that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as the ideal replacement for Harry Kane should they opt to sell him this summer.
The Serbian is drawing interest from a number of top European sides, with the likes of PSG and Chelsea also linked. However, Spurs could push hardest for a deal if they sell their main striker in the weeks ahead.
Juventus are said to be open to selling the player, with an asking price of around €65million in place. Such a fee would be no issue for the Premier League club assuming their coffers are boosted with the sale of Kane.

This summer Mitrovic has been caught up in his own transfer saga, after informing Fulham that he wanted to leave the club this summer.
Mitrovic was eager to end his six-season spell with Fulham by accepting an impressive offer from Saudi Arabia. Fulham however blocked the move, leaving the Serbian striker furious.
He is believed to have told friends and family that he would never play for the London club again.
