Harry Kane's family life - visits to German hospitals and wife's cheeky request
The family of footballers are often an afterthought, despite having to follow them around the world and settling for a short period of time before the next move happens.
For Harry Kane's though, the switch to Bayern Munich is the star's first transfer. At the age of 30, he's left London for the German city but it has been anything but a simple start to their new life. Days after they touched down, they welcome a new member after Kate gave birth to their fourth child.
Arriving ready to drop, Kate probably wished the £104million deal was done at the start of the summer. When they stepped off the plane, husband Harry was whisked off to play on his first night in the country. Days later, little Henry had arrived - joining daughters, Ivy, six, and Vivienne, five, and son Louis, two. They've taken their two dogs with them too, of course.
They thought they had a little more time on their hands. Kate headed out to Munich last month to house hunt and visit private hospitals so they could be as prepared as possible. They decided she wouldn't hang on in the UK with a source saying the England captain was "unable to simply fly back to England for the birth".

"Kate flew out to Munich to do a recce at the end of last month as the deal got closer - they knew that if it got over the line they'd need to be able to relocate very quickly," a source told The Sun. "Kate looked at homes but also visited a couple of private hospitals. It's unlikely Harry will be able to simply fly back to England for the birth and he won’t want to miss it. So Munich is a very real possibility and they have to be prepared for that."
Supporters say Harry will find goals even easier to come by in the Bundesliga that he did in the Premier League. Kate will be very keen for him to hit the back of the net as much as hospital, and not just because she gets a happy husband on his return to their home.

He told Esquire : "If I score a hat-trick, Kate will say, 'Well done, you can make me a cup of tea when you get home'. She's not afraid to take the mickey out of herself or me."
Harry even announced he had married his "best friend" when the pair exchanged vows in an exotic location, which they managed to keep secret. After popping the question while on holiday in the Bahamas in July 2017, Harry revealed the good news on Twitter at the time, posting: "She said yes!" The then Tottenham striker celebrated his joyous day by posting this message: "Finally got to marry my Best Friend! I love you."
Now they are building a new life in Germany with the free-scoring forward looking the the elusive trophy that has so far escaped his grasp. After months of speculation, Kane finally completed his blockbuster switch to Bayern to end his long association with Spurs earlier this month.
The striker is the club's all-time leading goalscorer but was reluctantly sold by Daniel Levy after it became clear that Kane was unlikely to commit to a new contract. He said after the deal was done: "Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I've always said that I want to compete and prove myself at the highest level during my career. This club is defined by its winning mentality - it feels very good to be here."
