How Harry Kane ‘surprised’ Bayern Munich despite previous record – with 37-goal striker being backed to challenge Robert Lewandowski in history books

The England international was acquired by the Bundesliga giants during the summer transfer window of 2023. He was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-money-harry-kane-agreement-bayern-munich-explained/blt55424eaf53d94dee" target="_blank">prised away from Tottenham in a big-money deal</a>, with the 30-year-old frontman becoming the all-time leading scorer for Spurs and the Three Lions during his time in north London.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There has been no sign of Kane slowing down in Germany, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-out-robert-lewandowski-when-harry-kane-think-41-goal-bundesliga-record-history-24-debut-campaign-bayern-munich/blt5f08ca5fff08b125" target="_blank">target being found on 37 occasions</a> across all competitions. He has also registered 12 assists and is being backed to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-abuse-because-doesnt-have-i-end-name-critics-lay-off-bayern-munich-striker-trophy-struggles-efforts-fill-robert-lewandowski-void/blt9743fc4f926af751" target="_blank">chase down records held by legendary former Bayern No.9 Robert Lewandowski</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ex-Bayern midfielder Basler has told <a href="https://betway.de/de-de/ " target="_blank">Betway</a> of the impact that a proven performer has made at the Allianz Arena: “I think we were all a bit surprised that Harry Kane made such an impact. From everything you hear from Munich, he must be an outstanding guy. He must be world class as a person and there’s no question about it football-wise. In my opinion, if he doesn’t pick up any injuries, he might even be able to break Lewandowski’s record.”

WHAT BASLER SAID ABOUT KANE

While records are nice to have, Kane joined Bayern in a bid to bring his long wait for major silverware to a close. He is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everyone-laughing-england-harry-kane-selfish-robert-lewandowski-record-bayern-munich-trophy-bid/blt802d3f428a3edcce" target="_blank">in danger of seeing that barren run extended</a>, with a frustrating domestic campaign meaning that the Champions League is now the only trophy that Kane and Co can get their hands on in 2023-24.
