<\/p>\n

Remember when England fans used to bemoan Harry Kane\u2019s likely laboured condition going into a World Cup on the back of an exhausting Premier League campaign?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Playing in Germany suits him. England\u2019s captain and all-time record goalscorer couldn\u2019t be in better nick as he attempts to lead the nation to its first World Cup triumph for six decades.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He has just enjoyed the most prolific season not just of his own career, but of any Bayern Munich player in history, with 58 goals in all competitions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A hat-trick on the final day of the season saw him beat Robert Lewandowski\u2019s single-season club record and he secured his status as the Bundesliga top scorer for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t exactly wind down towards the summer. Since the turn of the year, Kane netted in 20 of his 25 appearances for club and country, scoring 28 goals, including one in both quarter-finals legs against Real Madrid and in both semi-final matches against Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

He now heads to the United States as not just England\u2019s skipper or greatest goalscorer of all time, but as someone who is reshaping the narrative around his career.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a little over 12 months ago that Kane had still yet to win a major trophy of any note. Two Bundesligas later plus numerous individual accolades during a stunning three-year spell in Germany that has seen Kane get better with age, he now has the Ballon d\u2019Or in his sights as well as a World Cup, both of which would take him to even greater heights.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A trophy with England has come tantalisingly close in recent years. Like so many England striking greats \u2014 Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney \u2014 Kane has produced individual brilliance and earned many accolades, but no medal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He now sits 26 goals above Rooney\u2019s previous record, which only lasted for eight years before Kane broke it in 2023 Sir Bobby Charlton\u2019s tally stood for 45 years and he\u2019s 30 ahead of that.<\/p>\n
