Harry Kane: The Bayern Munich and England striker's Bundesliga career in numbers
Harry Kane has backed up the hype since his move to Bayern Munich from the English Premier League. bundesliga.com crunches the numbers behind the England captain's electric start in Bayern colours...
1 - Kane made his Bayern debut in the Supercup against RB Leipzig, which Die Roten Bullen won 3-0. Hardly the start the England captain was looking for, but things have improved dramatically since then.
3 - The 30-year-old is just the third Englishman to play for Bayern, following in the footsteps of Owen Hargreaves and Omar Richards. That matches the number of hat-tricks Kane has scored in the first 11 matches of the 2023/24 season - an achievement only one player in Bundesliga history had previously managed.
4 - Assists for Leroy Sané during the 2023/24 Bundesliga season to date - out of the five goals Kane has set up in total so far. The former Tottenham Hotspur forward also became just the fourth England player to score a hat-trick in the German top flight after Kevin Keegan, Tony Woodcock and Jadon Sancho, against Bochum during Matchday 5, although he repeated that feat again versus Darmstadt and Dortmund.

7 – It was such an awesome start for Kane in Bavaria that he quickly became the first-ever Bayern player to score seven times in his first five games for the Bundesliga giants.
9 – Indeed, it was to get even better for the English goal-getter when he bumped that up to nine goals in his opening eight matches in the German top flight - becoming the first Bayern player to achieve that too, while only three players in Bundesliga history (Gert Dörfel, Paco Alcácer and Erling Haaland) have been faster to that mark. Nine is indeed a symbolic number for Kane, as the Londoner dons the No. 9 shirt at his new club previously worn by Bayern and Bundesliga phenomenon Robert Lewandowski.
15 - Kane's Klassiker hat-trick took him to a staggering 15 goals in his first 10 Bundesliga appearances. That is a record after 10 career outings in the German top flight, while only the legendary Gerd Müller had previously scored that many at the same stage of a season, in 1968/69.
