"He is tailor-made for the Bundesliga, which has been the top league in Europe in terms of goals scored for years. German football is characterised by exchanges of punches, with the ball moving back and forth and plenty of chances on both sides; and Bayern are in the penalty area more often than any other team. Because Kane is confident and precise in front of goal and uses his height and heading ability to his advantage from corners and free-kicks, he scores like nowhere else."
"The statistics are fantastic, with his scoring rate in the Bundesliga more than one-and-a-half times better than in the Premier League and for the national team. He has scored more goals (74) than he has played games (72) in the Bundesliga, significantly surpassing Gerd Muller's record (0.85). Kane could break records left, right and centre. With 12 goals in nine league games this season, he will surpass Robert Lewandowski's 41 goals in 2020-21 if he continues at this rate."
Harry Kane's attributes fit Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga's goal-rich style, producing frequent chances and high penalty-area presence. Kane combines confidence, precision and aerial strength, scoring prolifically from open play and set pieces and converting all 18 of his Bundesliga penalties. His Bundesliga scoring rate is more than one-and-a-half times higher than his Premier League and national team rates, with 74 goals in 72 games, surpassing Gerd Muller's rate. With 12 goals in nine league games this season he threatens Robert Lewandowski's single-season tally. At 32, Kane holds influence and freedom at Bayern, enabling late-career trophy and record potential.
