It’s the moment the world has been waiting for: Harry Kane has finally been able to make his debut in his finest shorts as a Bayern Munich player.

Officially, Kane left Tottenham Hotspur and signed for the Bundesliga giants for a fee of over €100m on August 12, since then he has played three matches for his new club.
However, a player can only call himself the star of the club, which in Germany is called “FC Hollywood”, after he has donned the traditional Bavarian outfit and holds a glass of beer aloft as part of the club’s famous October celebrations.
Each year, before the fall event, the team gathers for a photoshoot while wearing leather pants, felt jackets, knit socks and sturdy Haferl boots.
Ken missed this season’s shoot last week because he was engaged at home to be with his wife Katie, as she gave birth to the couple’s fourth child, Henry.
However, the England captain is no man to shy away from commitment, and he made up for his absence on Tuesday by doing what it takes.
Ken was joined by his new colleagues Thomas Müller and Alphonso Davies – both veterans of the Oktoberfest scene – for his photoshoot.
From scoring three goals and providing an assist on his first two goals, to looking perfect at home in leather and sipping a glass of Bavarian beer, it’s safe to say Kane now looks like every inch of Bayern’s superstar.
