The advance that aligns in the Germans of Bayern Munich is pleased “to put again on the map” English footballers.

The spearhead became on Monday the fifth English player to win the Golden Ball, accumulating with the Best Advanced award at the same ceremony.
But Kane said that in recent years it has become “someone who is more than just a goal marker”
“I want to help the team in many different ways. I feel like my passes, my defense, and my intelligence are all things that can help the team win. And in the end, that's all that matters. I want to do my best to help the team win”, he summarized.
Kane won the German League, the German Cup and the Super Cup in 2025/26, with a record of 61 goals in 51 games by Bayern in the different competitions, 36 of which in the championship, which earned him the Golden Boot.
