We examine Harry Kane’s numbers from an impressive individual campaign last term, demonstrating the Bundesliga club’s interest.
Bayern Munich are reportedly still keen on Harry Kane despite Tottenham Hotspur rebuffing the German champions’ early advances.
Thomas Tuchel’s side suffered at times in 2022-23 following the departure of Robert Lewandowski for Barcelona, with previous head coach Julian Nagelsmann’s plan to spread the goals around proving to be a flawed solution.
The England captain has one year left on a contract he signed in 2018, ideally meant to give the 29-year-old leverage in this summer window.

FOOTBALL Bayern Munich make shock Harry Kane bid with £60m offer for England captain
The German champions are desperate for a striker and have earmarked the Tottenham man as a key target although their offer falls below Spurs’ valuation.
Tottenham drives a hard bargain over Harry Kane
However, Spurs are unwilling to let go of the multi-faceted centre-forward so easily, with a £100 million valuation slapped on the superstar.
That number seems steep for a player who turns 30 later this month, but it remains to be seen if Daniel Levy and Tottenham budge.
Despite the Lilywhites’ egregious 2022-23, Kane shone despite the failings around him, finding the back of the net 30 times in 38 games — only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (36) scored more.
What were the Bayern target’s standout numbers from last season?
Harry Kane's underlying numbers from 2022-23
- 21.5 – The Tottenham superstar scored 30 times from Expected Goals (xG) of 21.5.
- 8.5 – Kane’s xG overperformance outdid every player in the top flight and Europe’s top-five leagues, including Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland, who placed second.
