Signing Kane: How Bayern Munich finally replaced Lewandowski

After months of rumours and negotiations, this summer's blockbuster transfer saga involving Harry Kane, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur came down to the wire.

On Thursday, Spurs finally agreed to Bayern's fourth bid in six weeks for the England captain. Even after Kane had agreed to join Bayern on a four-year deal, he was delayed from hopping aboard the private jet waiting to take off from London-Stansted airport.

While it seemed that Kane had doubts about whether he really wanted to leave Tottenham after being part of the club for almost two decades, the reality was that it unexpectedly took some time before the last financial details were clarified.
