Harry Kane’s new life at Bayern Munich has taken another turn in the road – as it turns out he’ll be steering a glitzy new car.
Bayern have gifted their players new Audis for the season thanks to their partnership with the car manufacturer, who have shares in the club.
The players were given a black Q8 e-tron, with the cheapest version going for £58,000, though they were able to choose from different models.
The ex-Spurs star collected his new drive from Ingolstadt on Wednesday and will be required to drive it to training, matches, and events in the car, as per Bayern policy.
‘I’ve already tried [driving in Germany], but of course not with the new car,’ Kane told BILD.

He explained that he chose a ‘family car’ after welcoming his fourth child – and said he was still getting used to driving on the other side on the continent
‘I’ll slowly get used to the fact that the steering wheel is on the other side. So far I haven’t had a crash, that’s a positive thing.
After his wife, Kate, brought their fourth child, Henry, into the world earlier this month, he explained his priorities when choosing what type of Audi to select.
He said: ‘I decided on a family car. Now that I have four children, I just need the space.’
Audi have sponsored Bayern since 2002 and fund the German giants to the tune of £43million per year.
After a rocky start, coming on as an ineffectual substitute in a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup, Kane’s time in Bavaria has improved.

On his Bundesliga debut, he scored and assisted in a 4-0 rout at Werder Bremen to put Bayern second in the table after one game.

England’s all-time top goalscorer left Spurs this summer in a £100m move with the hope of winning titles. Bayern have won the Bundesliga on seven consecutive occasions and have a strong Champions League pedigree.
He was absent from his new club’s annual photoshoot in lederhosen due to the birth of Henry in England – a valid and well-timed excuse to avoid photographical obligations.
