Harry Kane: Striker’s record night, Bayern scores nine goals

Former England defender Stephen Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live: “Harry Kane is an exceptional professional.

“One thing we know about Kane is that he has never been exceptionally fast. His game is well thought out, he sees space and senses where the ball might land. He is an intelligent footballer.”

This summer there were calls for Kane, England’s all-time record goalscorer, to be left out of the squad ahead of the 2024 European Championship final.

Warnock continued: “He will prove people wrong in the next few years. People will talk about it (his performances for England at Euro 2024). It was a bad Euro for him.”

“It didn’t go well and I think there were a number of factors: an injury he picked up in the closing stages of the Bundesliga, the England style of play or the wingers he played with didn’t suit him.

“He will score goals for Bayern Munich because he fits their style of play. The special thing about Vincent Kompany’s teams is that they create so many chances.”

Kane scored 44 goals in 45 games for Bayern last season. He recently celebrated his 100th cap for England with two goals against Finland.

“He will be involved in 50 goals and provide assists this season but his position in the England team will still be questioned,” Warnock added.

“I don’t know why people want to question him, he’s still phenomenal.”

Although Kane has already scored 417 goals for his club and country, he has yet to win a major trophy.

Last season, FC Bayern failed to win the Bundesliga for the first time in twelve years.

He also lost two European Championship finals with England and a Champions League final with Tottenham.

Former Bayern and England midfielder Owen Hargreaves told TNT Sports: “He played (last season) at the level you would expect. The other players didn’t.”

“Harry will win trophies – the only question is which ones.”
