  Harry Kane has said playing for Bayern Munich is ‘insane’ as he prepares for his home debut – as the German giants reveal how close they came to missing out on their star signing.<\/p>\n

  Kane is gearing up for today\u2019s showdown with Bayern\u2019s Bavarian rivals Augsburg at a rocking Allianz Arena a week after scoring on his league debut in a 4-0 win at Werder Bremen.<\/p>\n

  Kane-mania is already seeing record shirt sales of the England skipper\u2019s replica jersey and he\u2019s looking forward to repaying the fans who he insists create a better atmosphere than in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

  \u2018The atmosphere in Bremen was incredible, very different from England and the Premier League,\u2019 said Kane, two weeks after his \u00a385m switch from Tottenham. \u2018It was a league game, but it felt like a big European night, like a Champions League game.<\/p>\n

  \u2018What was really impressive was the atmosphere. I have to adapt to it.\u2019<\/p>\n

  Kane has proved to be an immediate hit with the Bayern fans after his big money signing<\/p>\n

  The club sold over 10,000 Kane shirts on the day of the England striker’s arrival\u00a0<\/p>\n

  Bayern had sold more than 13,000 Kane replica shirts within 24 hours of his arrival earlier this month, a record for any player.<\/p>\n

  And Kane is acutely aware that brings pressure ahead of his first league appearance at the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n

  \u2018Mr Rummenigge [Karl-Heinz, former player and board member] explained to me how big the pressure is at Bayern: trophies are expected here – actually more than just one. We have to win. That\u2019s the mentality here and this FC Bayern mentality will make me better as a player and help me progress.\u2019<\/p>\n

  Kane left Spurs as the club\u2019s record scorer but insisted, in a dig at Tottenham that competing in the Champions League was a huge draw.<\/p>\n

  \u2018I wanted this experience, to fight for titles, for the Champions League,\u2019 he said. \u2018Playing for a club as huge as Bayern is an insane challenge. I was thinking less about the league and more about FC Bayern: How can I get better? Bayern is the perfect club for me.\u2019<\/p>\n

  Former Bayern president Uli Hoeness\u00a0revealed how close Spurs chairman Daniel Levy (pictured) came to thwarting the prospective deal Harry Kane deal<\/p>\n

  Meanwhile, former club president Uli Hoeness has revealed how close the deal to sign Kane was hijacked by hard bargaining from Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.<\/p>\n

  \u2018At midnight we had a verbal agreement, but at 2:50am, the deal was called into question again,\u2019 Hoeness said in an interview with Bild. \u2018They asked again for a larger amount. Jan [Dreesen, Bayern\u2019s chief executive] then said: \u201cNot a penny more\u201d.<\/p>\n

  \u2018It took six hours for [Daniel] Levy to accept that we were stubborn about it and for the plane that had been waiting for Harry at Stansted that morning to finally take off.\u2019<\/p>\n

  According to Hoeness, Levy was forced into a corner by Kane apparently saying if a deal to join Bayern wasn\u2019t done he would stay at Spurs and leave on a free next summer at the end of his contract.<\/p>\n
