The England captain has been in lethal form at the start of the 2025-26 campaign, scoring 13 goals in just seven games across all competitions, and is already closing in on the 100-goal milestone for the German champions.
Kane continues record-breaking scoring streak
The 32-year-old striker has taken the Bundesliga by storm once again, netting eight times and adding three assists in just four league games this season.

The Bavarians' sporting director Eberl believes the Englishman's role has grown beyond being a mere goalscorer under Kompany, praising his adaptability and mentality.
In an interview with he said: "Harry Kane is a player who benefits from Vincent Kompany's style of football. For me, Kane has undergone a development that is special. He doesn't just focus on scoring goals, but on the way he runs for the team and creates chances. Kane is an outstanding personality. He simply wants to be successful and win titles. That's what drives him. And he should continue to do that with us for as long as possible."
Bayern’s leader both on and off the pitch
The ex-Tottenham striker has already cemented himself as one of Bayern’s most influential signings of the modern era. Beyond his prolific scoring record, the England captain’s work rate, movement and leadership have been vital in Kompany’s high-intensity system. With rivals strengthening across Europe, Kane’s consistency will be key if Die Roten are to reclaim Champions League glory while maintaining their grip on the Bundesliga.
