Bayern Munich worried about Harry Kane? Club chief opens up on striker's goal drought and whether it's causing a 'mental problem' for England star

Kane started his Bayern Munich career with a bang as the England captain enjoyed a prolific debut campaign. Despite the Bavarians' trophyless season, the former Tottenham Hotspur striker quickly became a fan favourite at Allianz Arena. However, Kane has not enjoyed quite the same kind of goalscoring form as he did last season, which has raised concerns among fans and Bayern's top brass.

Kane has not managed a non-penalty goal for Bayern Munich since the middle of November and missed a hatful of chances last time out against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. Kane also had an off-night as Bayern were beaten by Feyenoord in the Champions League. Eberl has now opened up on Kane's struggles in front of goal but insists he is not worried.

Speaking to the media, Eberl said: "Harry [Kane] is the least of my worries. When you have a young player, you might worry more, but Harry Kane has had so many highs and also some lows. So if anyone can cope and deal with it, it's Harry Kane. He hasn't scored from open play for a long time, but he also was injured.

"Of course, we need his goals. He knows that and is probably the one who is most critical of himself. But I don't think it's causing a mental problem for Harry."

The England captain will play a major role for Bayern Munich in the second half of the season as they look to regain their Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen and challenge for the Champions League as well. Kane will be in action next when the Bavarians take on Freiburg on Saturday.
