England captain Harry Kane has hit the ground running in the German Bundesliga after taking the top flight with a storm. Kane, having come to Bayern after a record $100 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur is already scoring goals for fun and has a couple of hat-tricks to his name in the Bundesliga. However, it is just not his goals but his assists that are making the headlines helping FC Bayern Munich stay in the hunt for a record 12th consecutive Bundesliga title.
Harry Kane’s goal this season
At the time of writing Kane has scored 28 goals in all competitions for the German giants including 24 goals in the Bundesliga. He has averaged a goal per game having played 28 matches in all competitions since his big-money transfer. On the other hand, his Bundesliga record is impressive scoring his 24 goals in 21 matches. He averages more than a goal per match, proving his worth to the side.
Comparing Kane’s stats to Robert Lewandowski’s 41-goal record season, the English striker is well on route to break that tally. After 20 Bundesliga matches, Kane has 24 goals, the same as that of Lewandowski’s tally in the 2020-21 season. Kane’s experience in the Premier League could be a decisive factor for him to reach the tally of 42 goals in the season. However, the best Premier League season was also a 30-goal campaign in 2022-23 and 2016-17, but considering the level of opposition he should be on par to get closer to the Polish striker.
Interestingly, Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy is second on the list for most Bundesliga goals in the 2023-24 season with 17.
