It’s been touted that Kane is making the Bundesliga look like the farmers league it has often been unfairly maligned as and that is contributing to his absurd start at Bayern. That isn’t the case IMO. What you are seeing is how Kane performs in a truly elite team with top class players from top to bottom. Had Kane after his first season or two at Spurs after he broke out moved to Man City especially or even Liverpool during Klopp’s era, there is a good chance he might have already either broken or come within a handful of goals away from Shearer’s record. He posted absurd, outrageous numbers at Spurs, but other than the Poch team from 2014-2018 it was a largely unstable team with major changes and holes throughout the squad. Even that Poch Spurs team at it’s very best was never the outright best team in the league. He is 47 goals off Shearer. Is it possible that he might have made up that difference if he had spent the last 8 years at Man City? I’d say it is very likely.

The guy is an absolute monster of a striker. He has walked in to one of the biggest clubs on the planet in a foreign league, in to a team filled with absolute champions of the sport while himself having won absolutely nothing. He is inheriting the mantle of arguably Bayerns greatest #9 of all time in Lewandowski. And he is doing it all absolutely effortlessly and with sheer purpose and determination. You can already see that his teammates have immense respect for him and see him as a match winner and leader. It is a remarkable adaptation that needs more credit than it’s getting.
