Harry Kane has admitted his first few months at Bayern Munich away from his wife and kids 'wasn't easy' but the England captain feels Germany is like home now.
Kane, 30, joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in a £100million deal last summer.
He spent the first five months living in a £10,000-a-night suite at the luxury Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski Hotel in Munich before his wife Katie and their four children Ivy, Vivienne, Louis and Henry moved over from London.
Kane and his family recently moved into a £30million hilltop mansion in an area dubbed the 'Beverley Hills of Bavaria.'
The Mirror reported his new home comes complete with a spa, sundeck, views of the River Isar and a garden on the edge of a forest.
Kane has made a sensational start to life at Bayern, scoring 28 goals in 27 matches so far.
'It wasn't easy, the first four or five months being in the hotel and being away from the family,' Kane told the PA news agency.
'That was for sure difficult so I was proud of the way I was still able to perform on the pitch in those circumstances.
'We've had a good winter break and everyone came back with me, the kids are in school, we have got the house.
'Month by month it starts to feel more like home, you meet parents at school, my wife is meeting new friends and you just start to meet new people and see new things.
'Everyone has been fantastic, all the fans here, the club have been great and trying to make me welcome and so far it is nothing but praise for everyone here.'
In an interview with The Guardian last week, Kane said his family are embracing Bavarian life and go skiing in the Alps at weekends.
He also admitted his children are picking up the German language quicker than he is, despite his best efforts in class.
'I've started German lessons and have these at least once or twice a week,' he said.
'I want to fit in as much as possible and learning the language is important and I'm willing to try.
'The Bayern fans are great, I hear them chanting lots of songs throughout the matches.'
The winter weather means he has been unable to play much of his beloved golf lately – though he has still been busy, investing in sportswear brand Reflo, whose mission is to become the most sustainable apparel brand in the world by using materials derived from single-use plastic waste.
Kane, who will wear the Reflo brand when playing pro-am and exhibition competitions, said: 'The weather, since the snow hit us we have been struggling, I don't think the courses open here until March so I have been hitting the golf simulator a little bit and trying to stay in a decent shape for now.
'That is one thing I am looking forward to, I am starting to feel at home with the family, the kids are in school so the next step is to start finding the golf courses when I get some alone time with friends.'
Kane faces one of his most important matches since he joined Bayern this Saturday as they travel to Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
The reigning champions currently trail Xabi Alonso's team by two points at the top of the table.
