Harry Kane’s extraordinary evolution at Bayern Munich continues to dominate football headlines — and now, club legend Thomas Müller has joined the chorus of praise, describing the England captain as “more than just a goal machine.” In an interview with Abendzeitung, Müller, who recently moved to MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps, hailed Kane for his “brutal individual class” and leadership qualities that go far beyond his prolific scoring record.
Müller, who spent two seasons alongside Kane in Munich, admitted with a grin that he wouldn’t dare compete with the Englishman’s goal tally. “I don’t think I want to fight a battle with Harry because I’ll come up short in the end,” he joked, before adding seriously, “He’s someone who loves responsibility — not just on the pitch but for the team and the club as well.”
The remarks come at a time when Kane’s form under Vincent Kompany has been nothing short of sensational. The 32-year-old forward has scored 19 goals in just 11 matches this season, breaking yet another record by becoming the fastest player in Europe’s top five leagues to reach 100 goals for a single club, achieving the feat in 104 games — faster than Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.
But Kane’s contribution isn’t limited to finishing. The former Tottenham Hotspur star has transformed into a complete forward, dropping deep into midfield to orchestrate play, create chances, and even contribute defensively. His precise passing and tactical intelligence have allowed teammates like Luis Díaz and Michael Olise to flourish in Kompany’s high-tempo system, making Bayern more unpredictable and dynamic than ever.
As Müller put it, “Kane’s game is about more than scoring — it’s about control, vision, and the ability to make others better. Everything he does looks effortless because of his class.”
Bayern’s dominance under Kompany — 11 straight wins across all competitions, 40 goals scored, and a perfect Bundesliga start — owes much to Kane’s leadership and consistency. Yet transfer rumors persist, with reports suggesting a €65 million release clause could open the door for a return to the Premier League, where Tottenham, Manchester United, and Barcelona are all watching closely.
Still, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl insists Kane’s long-term future remains in Bavaria, calling him “central to our project beyond 2027.” For now, though, Kane remains focused on one thing — leading Bayern to Champions League glory and proving that he’s not only the world’s best striker but also one of its most complete footballers.
