Harry Kane stuns fans with strange accent in Bayern Munich interview as one jokes he's the 'new Joey Barton'

The Bayern Munich and England striker has certainly got fans talking with a recent interview.

Fans were left baffled after they watched an interview with Harry Kane, during which he appeared to put on a different accent.

Kane, 31, is currently at the Club World Cup with Bayern Munich and was part of the side that won 10-0 against Auckland City – although the England skipper did not get on the scoresheet.

On Wednesday evening, the club posted a video of Kane standing in a huge wheelie bin filled with ice and cold water.

“In this weather, I like it,” Kane said.

“It’s so hot here, it’s refreshing. But when it’s in the winter it’s tougher.”

But it was the way he spoke rather than what he said that got fans talking.

Some fans noticed that the Londoner had a slight German accent when he spoke.

One fan said: “Move over Barton and McClaren, there's a new player in town.”

Another added: “Harry Kane here, fully falling into that “Brit abroad” tone of voice.

"Steve McClaren would be proud."

A third joked: “Harry Kane following a well known path of English football man moves to the continent and immediately adopts a weird “local” accent. Shteeve McClaren would be so proud."

While a fourth explained: “It's why Barton, McClaren, Kane, Dier, etc have all done the same thing, its what the media people tell them to do, a German person is going to have an easier time understanding someone speaking English in a German accent (i.e. how they would pronounce the words themselves)."

Of course, this is not the first time an English footballer has adopted a different accent.

Famously, Steven McClaren sported a Dutch accent during a press conference when he was manager of Twente back in 2008.

Joey Barton did the same during a brief loan spell at Marseille in the 2012/13 campaign, and Jadon Sancho spoke with a German accent during his spells at Borussia Dortmund, but he later explained his reasons for doing it.

"It's the language barrier, for people who don't really understand English," Sancho told BBC Radio 5 Live's Daily Euros podcast in 2024.

"The only reason I do it is for them to understand. You know when you go to Spain and talk to a waiter at a restaurant?"
