Harry Kane quality that is best in the world highlighted by former Tottenham team-mate Victor Wanyama as England star maintains prolific strike rate at Bayern Munich

The England international striker has been able to maintain a prolific strike rate since bursting onto a senior stage at Tottenham. He is now Spurs’ all-time leading scorer, with 280 efforts to his name, while also boasting a record-breaking haul of 62 strikes for his country.

Kane has worked tirelessly to reach the very top of the game, with former Spurs team-mate Wanyama telling FIFA’s official website of what makes the fearsome frontman truly elite: “Harry’s finishing is second to no-one. You saw it in training, he is so clinical. I have not seen another striker like him. He's also a very professional player. He does all the right things. His game understanding, his movements, his runs – they are just top.”

Kane is now on the books at Bayern, with 44 goals registered for them this season. Major silverware has once again proved elusive, with Wanyama adding on failing to break that duck when playing alongside the Three Lions superstar in north London: “My only regret from that era is that we did not win a big trophy. We had everything to do it, but just couldn’t pull it off. We had a great team and a great coach in Mauricio. We showed we could beat anyone. I remember one season (2016-17), we didn't lose one home game. That's how good our team was.”

Kenya international Wanyama is now plying his trade in MLS for CF Montreal, which is putting him in direct competition with Inter Miami talisman Lionel Messi, but he is still keeping an eye on European action and will be hoping to see Kane end his long wait for tangible success at some point in the near future.
