“Exceptional” Harry Kane is, given his strike rate at Bayern Munich this season, being tipped to break Robert Lewandowski’s record when it comes to most goals scored in a single Bundesliga campaign. England captain Kane has recorded 18 efforts through just 14 games this season, leaving him well on course to better Lewandowski’s tally of 41 from 2020-21.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

Rock bottom Mainz were mightily close to shocking Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena before a late Harry Kane penalty rescued a fortunate point for the Bavarian giants. Vincent Kompany’s side were unimpressive at home and struggled to break down a stubborn Mainz defence, but battled back to draw 2-2 and maintain their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga this season.

Crystal Palace are reportedly exploring an ambitious January move for Bayern Munich right-back Sacha Boey, with the £30 million-rated French defender emerging as a serious target amid Daniel Munoz’s injury and the club’s packed winter schedule. With Oliver Glasner pushing for reinforcements, Palace believe a cut-price deal could strengthen their Champions League push.

Bayern Munich sensation Lennart Karl has been hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime talent by Dietmar Hamann, who claims the 17-year-old is currently outshining superstars Harry Kane and Michael Olise. The Liverpool legend believes Karl's explosion onto the scene is so significant that even Jamal Musiala faces a genuine fight to regain his starting spot in the side upon his return from injury.
