England captain closing in on 30 goalsHas broken records on & off the fieldStruggling to secure elusive silverwareWHAT HAPPENED?
The England international striker has enjoyed a productive debut campaign in German football following his 2023 transfer from Tottenham, with 29 goals recorded through 30 appearances. He has, however, been unable to get his hands on an elusive trophy and is in danger of missing out on silverware completely in 2024.

The odd question has been asked of his contribution at the Allianz Arena as a result, with Bayern suffering three successive defeats in all competitions, but Kane has been told that he should be immune from any criticism – as was previously the case for prolific Polish frontman Robert Lewandowski.
WHAT LAMBERT SAID ABOUT KANE
Former Borussia Dortmund star Lambert has, while speaking to who offer the latest Champions League odds, said of Kane’s detractors: “He gets abuse because he doesn't have an 'I' at the end of his name, he is as prolific as the day is long. Some of his goals have been absolutely terrific as well. It is not Harry Kane's fault that Bayern are second in the Bundesliga right now. Bayern were lucky last year to do it. Dortmund should have never lost to Mainz on that final day, even a draw would have been enough but then Jamal Musiala scored in the last second. Bayern had the luck on that day, so maybe this is what happens when they don't perform. Harry Kane is an unbelievable player and it's not his fault. Without him scoring their goals, they could be far worse.”

Kane has made history in Munich, on and off the field, and may yet get close to Lewandowski’s all-time single season Bundesliga goal record of 41 efforts. He is, however, desperate to land major silverware and would happily give up his goals in order to land a first major honour of his otherwise distinguished career.
