""I heard it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion," Kane said. "I've spent a bit of time with him [Owen] but don't know him well. Obviously he is a Premier League great and an England great as well so I'll respect him as a person. "But ultimately, as he will know, everyone's career is different -- everyone's decisions and motivations are different."
""I know he was insinuating I went just for the trophy but it was to be at the highest level for as long as possible and I'm really happy in that sense of playing big games, title runs, big Champions League matches, Club World Cup quarterfinal. "I feel I'm improving as a player, I'm pushing my limits as a player in terms of goalscoring and just improving. "It's hard not to hear things these days but the decisions are best for me and I'm really happy that I made that decision and very happy at Bayern Munich now.""
"Spurs' record goalscorer Kane also paid tribute to "fantastic chairman" Daniel Levy following his exit from the club. Levy is understood to have been asked to stand down from his position last week following a review of operations at the north London club, ending a 24-year stint in charge. Kane, who came through the ranks at Spurs, saw first hand how Levy transformed the club off the pitch with the building of their new stadium and unrivalled training ground."
Michael Owen called Harry Kane "nuts" for joining Bayern Munich while the Premier League goalscoring record was in view. Kane responded diplomatically, saying everyone is entitled to an opinion and expressing respect for Owen's status but stressing that careers, decisions and motivations differ. Kane said the move aimed to play at the highest level, compete in big games, title races and top European competitions, and to push his goalscoring limits. Kane also paid tribute to Daniel Levy, crediting him with off-pitch transformation at Tottenham including a new stadium and elite training facilities.
