Harry Kane scores goals. That’s just who he is. Ever since Arsenal let him go back when he was just a kid in primary school, he's had this relentless drive to find the back of the net.
Honestly, there are very few players in the history of the game—scratch that, in history itself—who can match Kane's skill at getting a ball into the goal. That's going to be his legacy, especially now that he’s finally got that first trophy off his back.
But here’s the thing—Bayern Munich, his current club, is apparently mulling over some different ideas. Reports from Germany last week mentioned some chatter about shifting him into the No. 10 role. Weird, right? That could open up a spot for a younger striker to come in and take the lead.
But let’s be real: even thinking about moving Kane from his natural position? That’s just plain wrong. It shows a total misunderstanding of who he is as a player. If Bayern’s thinking about putting someone else up front, they might as well just sell off the England captain.
From the moment he started getting regular first-team action at Tottenham—yeah, that was back at the end of the 2013-14 season, under Tim Sherwood of all people—he’s just been a goal-scoring machine. Right now, he’s scored 451 goals in 699 appearances, counting club and country.
Let’s dig a bit deeper. If we look at the time since he became a starter, which was in the 2014-15 season, he’s been averaging about 0.66 goals a game. That’s roughly two goals every three matches! Over these years, he’s been the top scorer in either the Premier League or Bundesliga a jaw-dropping five times, including just last season. Plus, he’s bagged the Golden Boot at two major tournaments—remember the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2024? He’s also picked up a European Golden Shoe and shared the Gerd Muller Trophy, which is like the Ballon d'Or for strikers.
Bayern and the Bundesliga have seen some incredible strikers, from Gerd Müller to Robert Lewandowski. But you know what? There’s something special about Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham in the summer of 2023 in a record deal for both clubs.
He’s already smashed in over 50 goals faster than anyone else in the history of Germany's top division, hitting that milestone in just 46 games.
And let’s not forget, he’s the all-time leading scorer for both Tottenham and England, where he also serves as captain. But he’s more than just a goal-scorer; he can drop back and play as a sort of 9.5, setting up teammates with his sharp vision and precise passing. Look at his stats—six assists in his first 19 league games of the 2024/25 season, plus those 21 goals. That just shows what he’s capable of.
