Once again, Kane is on course to finish as the Bundesliga’s top scoring, having fired in a league-leading 24 goals, which five more than second-placed Patrik Schick. However, while he is some way off last year’s tally of 36, it appears his clinical edge in front of goal will lead to silverware as Bayern close in on regaining their title from Bayer Leverkusen.
Of course, the 31-year-old’s ability means he is rarely out of the starting line-up. Since his arrival at the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2023, he has started 85 of Bayern’s 97 games in all competitions, scoring 79 times. Unsurprisingly, the Bavarians’ record without him in the first XI, whether due to injury or being rested, is mixed.
Kane’s debut arrived with him coming off the bench in the 2023 Supercup against RB Leipzig. The Englishman was signed as Bayern’s statement summer signing to give them increased end product, and the fact they were 3-0 down by the time he was introduced in the second half only highlighted that.
