Can Harry Kane speak German yet? Update from Bayern Munich superstar as England captain bids to become bilingual

Having become Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer, Kane sought a new challenge once it became apparent that major silverware would be difficult to come by in his homeland. He opted to go trophy-chasing with Bayern.

A first major honour of his career was secured last season, when becoming a Bundesliga title winner, with Supercup success being savoured since then. Kane has done much of his talking on the field, with remarkable individual standards being maintained in Munich.

He is, having relocated alongside his wife and children, doing his best to communicate with those around him in their native language. That is not a quick or easy process, with the 32-year-old striker happy to admit that he is still far from fluent.

Asking about how his schooling is going when it comes to learning a new language, Kane told his Cleats Club channel: “The German is okay. I’ve got a lesson after training today. Just getting back into it. I pick up some words now and then and can understand a few things, but just have to keep practising.”

It may be that Kane finds himself on the move again before he masters German, with questions being asked of his long-term future. He is under contract until 2027, but there has been talk of a move to Barcelona being made or a return to England that would allow him to chase down Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goals record.
