Harry Kane forced to settle for third place as Bayern Munich fans vote for their 2024-25 Player of the Season

The England international enjoyed a productive second campaign in Munich, with a first piece of major silverware being secured. Bayern allowed Kane to savour the sweet taste of success when landing the Bundesliga title.

Their prolific No.9 played a key role in restoring domestic dominance, with Kane hitting 26 goals in the Bundesliga and 41 across all competitions. He finished as top scorer in the German top-flight for the second year in a row.

Those efforts were not enough to secure him a POTS crown, with that award going to former Crystal Palace star Michael Olise at the end of his debut campaign at the Allianz Arena. The France international registered 17 goals and 16 assists through 48 appearances in 2024-25.

Olise picked up 44.8 per cent of the vote from Bayern fans, with Thomas Muller (18.7%) taking second and Kane (9.4%) filling the final spot on the podium.

Bayern boss Vincent Kompany has told Bayern’s official website of Olise: “We signed Michael and had a lot of hope. But it's not always the case that a player integrates so quickly.

“I see his hunger every day. He's a really hard worker. That's the basis, along with his talent. Nobody doubts that he can make the difference. And we absolutely need that.”

Bayern’s star-studded squad have been enjoying a short break on the back of FIFA Club World Cup duty, but they have a few friendlies to come - including one that will see Kane reunited with Tottenham - before facing Stuttgart in the German Super Cup on August 16.
