In a resounding endorsement of Harry Kane's prowess, Bayern Munich maestro Thomas Muller declared the English striker as the premier forward in global football.

Kane, who made an historic €100 million move from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern in August 2023, has not only become the most expensive signing in the Bavarian club's history but has also left an indelible mark on the field.

According to Muller, there's no one in Kane's league when it comes to the forward position. While acknowledging the brilliance of Erling Haaland, Muller emphasized the distinctive qualities that set Kane apart. In an interview with Sport BILD, the 30-year-old German stated, "Harry is right at the top of the current crop of strikers. He is simply a footballer with every fibre of his body."

Muller went on to dissect Kane's playing style, highlighting the meticulous understanding the Englishman possesses. "Firstly, he knows where the dangerous areas are. Secondly, he immediately sees what the other player can do, where his strengths are. He doesn't just play balls from A to B, there's always an idea behind it," Muller remarked, providing insight into Kane's footballing acumen.

Since his arrival at Bayern, Kane has set the Bundesliga ablaze, netting an astounding 22 goals in a mere 16 appearances. Muller, visibly impressed by Kane's impact, remarked, "I don't know if any player has ever had a better start at a club than Harry." He emphasized that it's not just about the raw numbers but the profound influence Kane has exerted on the team.

"Harry Kane is a player you know is always going to be there - at the highest level. He scores a goal in almost every game - but even when he doesn't, he does his job," Muller concluded, underlining the consistency and reliability that Kane brings to Bayern's frontline.

As the football world marvels at Harry Kane's seamless integration and prolific goal-scoring form, Muller's unequivocal praise solidifies the Englishman's status as the undisputed king of forwards in the global footballing arena.
