Harry Kane reveals new trophy target after breaking silverware curse - with Bayern Munich & England striker getting a taste for champagne-soaked celebrations

Having left Tottenham in search of tangible success, Kane saw his barren run continue during a frustrating debut campaign in Germany. He has, however, got his hands on a gold medal after firing Bayern to a domestic crown in 2025.

Kane had suffered several near misses prior to that, with Spurs and England, but never lost faith in his ability to get over the line - as detractors took great delight in seeing him fail on an annual basis.

With a trophy finally in the bag, the challenge now is to ensure that said triumph does not become a one off. Kane is already turning his attention to major honours with Bayern - such as the Champions League - and World Cup glory as captain of the Three Lions.

Kane told Sky Sports of breaking his duck: “Every athlete will tell you that there isn’t one straight line to the top, there are a lot of bumps along the road. You have to be resilient, finding ways to go again and keep that mindset to keep pushing even when it feels like it’s not your day or not your luck. That is kind of what my career has been.

“I would love to have won a trophy earlier in my career, but it wasn’t to be. It doesn’t mean that I stop. Even now I’ve won, it might change the perception for a lot of people, but for me it’s about enjoying it and then we go again and see how many more we can win. I’m in a great club, I feel really good myself, so I’m trying to keep improving. I won’t let this slow me down.”

Kane added when asked about his new targets: “I think there is a lot to achieve still, a lot of trophies to be won - some of the biggest out there. For the English national team as well, we have a massive tournament next summer and we have been extremely close so that is for sure something that not just me but the whole team are hungry to achieve.

“There is always something else. No matter how much you’ve won or how much you’ve done, there will always be something else to do and improve on. That’ll be me until the day I hang up my boots.”

Kane has seen a return to the Premier League speculated on, with Alan Shearer’s all-time goal record in that division still potentially in his sights, but his contract at the Allianz Arena is due to run until 2027 and there appears to be little chance of that agreement being broken any time soon.
