    WHAT NEXT FOR KANE?

    Kane is currently fighting to break a record set by one of those options. He has 36 goals in the Bundesliga in an impressive debut season at Bayern, putting him five behind the record set by Lewandowski during his time at the Bavarian giants. Before he turns his attention to closing down on that milestone, though, Kane will hope to fire the German side to the Champions League final as they take on Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg on Wednesday.
