876

Following Bayern Munich’s 4-3 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League, we assess the impact that Harry Kane has made since swapping Tottenham Hotspur for the German giants.

Harry Kane netted a whopping 278 goals in 430 appearances for Spurs, making him the club’s all-time leading scorer. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old moved to Bayern during the summer transfer window in search of silverware.

It would not be unfair to say that Kane’s Bayern career started in disappointment, as he came off the bench during a 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup. Since then, however, the England captain has resumed normal service.

Kane registered a goal and an assist on his Bundesliga debut, setting up Leroy Sane before netting his first-ever Bayern Munich goal as the perennial German champions thrashed Werder Bremen 4-0 on the opening weekend.

The prolific striker then bagged a brace as Bayern claimed a 3-1 victory over Augsburg, taking his tally to three goals and two Bundesliga games.

After failing to score in his side’s 2-1 win against Borussia Monchengladbach, Kane notched a goal and an assist during the international breaking, assisting against Ukraine before scoring against Scotland.

Kane returned from the international break with another goal against Bayer Leverkusen, although he was unable to prevent his team from drawing 2-2 with Xabi Alonso’s side.

On Wednesday, the lethal marksman contributed a goal and an assist as Bayern beat Manchester United 4-3 in their opening Champions League game, setting up Leroy Sane for the first goal before converting a second-half penalty.

As a result, Kane has now chalked up five goals and two assists in six appearances across all competitions for Bayern Munich, including four goals in as many Bundesliga games.

The Englishman has clocked up a total of 462 minutes for the German giants, meaning he averages a goal involvement every 66 minutes and a goal every 93 minutes for his new club.

There is no denying that Kane has made a big impact at Bayern Munich. As he continues to build relationships with his teammates and adapt to life in Germany, he will only get better.
