Harry Kane wins Bundesliga Player of the Month! Bayern Munich star rewarded for prolific October after netting four goals in three games

The Bayern marksman bagged an assist against Eintracht Frankfurt, scored a hat-trick against Stuttgart, and got on the scoresheet against VFL Bochum to cap off a memorable October. Now, the Bundesliga have named him their Player of the Month; beating out RB Leipzig's Willi Orban, SC Freiburg's Ritsu Doan and Vincenzo Grifo, Borussia Monchengladbach's Tim Kleindienst, and Union Berlin's Tom Rothe.

Kane's goals are proving to be invaluable for Bayern, who sit top of the Bundesliga by five points and are on course to take back the title they lost to Bayer Leverkusen last season. The England captain has scored a whopping 17 goals and created nine assists in just 16 matches in all competitions this term.

According to the Bundesliga, this award was created by the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga in 2018/19. The award is decided through a two-stage selection process that considers the players' performances and a vote by fans and experts. Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush won the accolade for September 2024.

Kane, who has been in the news this week for criticising the England players that pulled out ahead of their Nations League matches, will hope to get on the scoresheet again when Bayern host Augsburg in their next Bundesliga game on November 22.
