Kane on course for silver summer
HARRY KANE went to Germany in search of trophies at Bayern Munich.
But in his new home he could end up winning something far bigger with England this summer.
And if Kane lifts the European Championship trophy at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on July 14, his decision to uproot himself could have been the best of his career.
The Three Lions captain has been a goalscoring phenomenon with Bayern since his £90million move, passing the 40-goal barrier in his debut campaign.
But his club have failed to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 years and only a Champions League trophy can save their season.
A year ago, all the talk was of whether Kane would stay in the Premier League and seek to beat Alan Shearer’s goalscoring record.
Instead, Kane has gone to Germany, taken himself out of his comfortzone and improved.
That can only be good news for England because manager Gareth Southgate always favours players playing in the Champions League and will enjoy watching Kane plus Jude Bellingham tearing it up at two of Europe’s top clubs.
It was interesting that Kane spoke with even more authority around Bayern’s two games with Arsenal in the Champions League.
“Where I’m at in my career, people expect a different level from me in every game,” he said. “That comes with goals and assists but also an all - round performance using my leadership and experience.
“I’m really enjoying my experience in Germany and it was a step I needed.”
Kane is well on his way to establishing himself as a superstar in Germany, something that will benefit him when it comes to the Euros next month.
