German media make their feelings clear on Harry Kane in astonishing attack on the England captain

Harry Kane has scored 54 goals in 52 games at Bayern Munich but the media in Germany still have their doubts.

Harry Kane has been slammed by the German media despite scoring 52 goals for Bayern Munich.

The England captain finally left Spurs to join Bayern in a mammoth £100 million transfer in the summer of 2023.

Although he was unable to deliver another Bundesliga title and Bayern ended his first campaign trophyless, Kane did bang in 45 goals in 44 games in all competitions.

The 31-year-old has shattered records aplenty in Bavaria and started the new season strongly under new boss Vincent Kompany with 10 goals in his first seven appearances.

Yet Kane has come in for criticism from the press in Germany, with a recent column from journalist Walter Straten in BILD questioning his displays in the big games.

The headline for the piece in the newspaper reads, "The BITTER Kane truth'" and came after Bayern drew 1-1 with reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

Bayern are top of the table and three points clear of Leverkusen after five games, with four wins and one draw.

Yet Straten believes Kane can be ineffective when it matters most and expressed concern.

The article read: "Lots of effort, too little success. Harry Kane is hanging around alone up front.

"What good are three goals against Kiel if he doesn't even get a shot on goal in a big game like yesterday?

"Fairness dictates we shouldn't unleash the Kane-can't-win-a-title curse now. Especially since he had to leave injured."

Kane suffered a "painful blow to his ankle" late on following a challenge from Amine Adli and had to be substituted in the 86th minute.

The club say medical tests on Sunday "revealed a positive development" and Kompany is hopeful of his talisman being fit for the Champions League clash with Aston Villa.
