Harry Kane better than Erling Haaland? Red-hot Bayern Munich striker told key attribute that puts him above Man City talisman in the eyes of team-mate Thomas Muller

The England international has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/face-bayern-munich-harry-kane-english-ambassador-24-goal-striker-joined-germany-wife-katie-goodland-family/blt1594c28e29b6eb66" target="_blank">made a stunning impact in Germany</a> since severing career-long ties with Premier League side Tottenham in the summer of 2023. Kane has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bayern-munich-sensation-harry-kane-backed-smash-incredible-robert-lewandowski-record-club-legend/blt3fbd80a839d2899e" target="_blank">hit 26 goals for Bayern through just 23 appearances</a>. Haaland once enjoyed a similar strike rate at Borussia Dortmund, while also hitting 52 efforts in Manchester City’s Treble triumph last season, and they are widely considered to be the pick of world football’s No.9s.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Asked to name the cream of that crop, Bayern stalwart Muller told <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/bundesliga/vereine/bayern-muenchen/fc-bayern-thomas-mueller-legt-sich-fest-harry-kane-ist-der-beste-der-welt-86764684.sport.html " target="_blank">Sport Bild</a> of why Kane has to come out on top for him: “Who else do we have as competitors? Erling Haaland is of course great too, but they are different types of players. For me, Harry is at the top of the current strikers. Harry is a footballer with every fibre of his being. He understands the game. Firstly, he knows where the dangerous spaces are. Secondly, he sees immediately: what can his team-mate do, where are his strengths? He doesn't play balls bluntly from A to B, there is always an idea behind it.”

WHAT MULLER SAID

Kane has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-bayern-munich-phenomenon-bundesliga-champions-staggering-shirt-sales-record-christmas-100m-striker/blt8339e48783140b2c" target="_blank">breaking records on and off the field at Bayern</a>, with Muller admitting that few players have made quite such a positive first impression at the Allianz Arena. The World Cup winner added: “I don't know if a player has ever had a better debut at a club than Harry. I don't just mean that raw numbers, but also the influence he already has on our team. Even if he doesn't score, he does his job.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-bizarre-history-harry-kane-new-30m-munich-mansion-bayern-striker-wife-kate-four-children/blt0bcd8b659dc10eb7" target="_blank">opened his goal account for the new year</a> when netting in Bayern’s first game after the winter break against Hoffenheim. He has only failed to find the target in five of his appearances for the Bundesliga champions and is determined to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/meaningless-trophies-harry-kane-bayern-munich-transfer-critic-michael-owen-talking-rubbish-england-team-mate/blt51a623dfc6c81a92" target="_blank">bring his long wait for major silverware to a close in 2024</a>.

WHAT NEXT FOR KANE?

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane should be considered the best striker on the planet, even with Erling Haaland taken into consideration, says Thomas Muller.
