Harry Kane is enjoying a career-best spell at Bayern Munich, scoring 17 goals in his first nine 2025-26 appearances and becoming the fastest player to reach 100 goals in a top-five European league in 104 games. With Bayern winning Bundesliga and DFL-Supercup this year, Kane, 32, is settled, aiming for the Champions League, European Golden Shoe, and possibly the Ballon d'Or, leaving a Premier League return unlikely.
As the 2025-26 season unfolds, Harry Kane is reaching unprecedented heights at Bayern Munich. The England captain has become the quickest player to score 100 goals in a top-five European league, achieving the milestone in just 104 games, one less than Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland. Kane has already netted 17 goals in his first nine appearances this season, putting him on par with the best starts in European football history.
In the Champions League, he has 26 goals in 21 matches, equaling his total for Tottenham in 11 fewer games, and sits just one goal behind Kylian Mbappe in the current scoring charts. His exploits helped Bayern claim Bundesliga and DFL-Supercup glory this year, cementing his status as one of the world’s elite strikers. Kane’s contribution extends beyond scoring, with three assists this term, giving him 20 goal involvements in just 742 minutes, surpassing Messi’s 2011-12 mark.
While speculation about a Premier League return swirls, a move back to Tottenham or Manchester United offers limited upside compared to the trophies, Champions League, and Ballon d’Or prospects he enjoys in Germany. Settled with his family and thriving on the pitch, Kane appears set to continue his remarkable career at Bayern, challenging the greatest strikers of all time.
