Harry Kane (31 years old) was crowned the top scorer in the German League with 36 goals for the Bavarian giants in the league during the (2023-2024) season, which is the highest number of goals for a single player in the Old Continent this season.
The English international outperformed Guinean Serhou Guirassy, the striker for the German club Stuttgart, who scored 28 goals, followed by Frenchman Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain – Real Madrid) and Norwegian Erling Haaland, the striker for the English team Manchester City, with 27 goals each.
This is the first award in Harry Kane’s career, despite having topped the Premier League scorers list 3 times before with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Three Lions captain has made 32 appearances in the Bundesliga, providing eight assists, scoring 14 goals in his first 10 Bundesliga games and 21 goals in his first 15 league games, breaking the record of Norwegian star Erling Haaland, former Borussia Dortmund striker and current Manchester City player.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” said Harry Kane after receiving the Golden Boot. “I can only thank the club and my team-mates. The award belongs to everyone, without your support I wouldn’t be here today. I feel very good and I’m looking forward to the new season. I feel new energy. It’s always about how I can help the team and the club.”
He added: “Joining Bayern Munich was one of the best decisions I have made in my life, and I am enjoying every moment of it so far.”
Regarding his goals for the new season, the German striker said: “I want to continue as I started last season. But it is important to win titles. We want to achieve success as a team.”
Harry Kane became the third Bayern Munich player to win the title after German football legend Gerd Muller and current Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski.
Multiple individual award winner Harry Kane is still looking for his first team trophy of his career.
England’s all-time top scorer failed to win any title in his first season with the Bavarian giants, the first time Bayern have failed to win a title since 2012.
Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich last summer in a big deal worth 95 million euros, and played 47 matches for the Bavarian team in all competitions, scoring 45 goals and providing 14 assists.
