Harry Kane
Striker
Harry Kane is currently regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, and we think an argument can be made that he is the best player in the world. He plays for the German giant Bayern Munich, who currently sit second in the Bundesliga. Kane can only be described as a prolific goal scorer, currently boasting 32 goals in only 29 appearances in the Bundesliga, making him the highest-scoring player across Europe’s top 5 leagues this season. This success is not new to Kane, who has scored similar numbers in the Premier League with his old club, Tottenham Hotspur. In the Premier League, Kane has scored 30 goals twice per season and won 3 golden boots during his 9 seasons at Tottenham. He was on track to break the Premier League's all-time scoring record before he decided to transfer to Bayern Munich. Kane’s success is not limited to his club teams; he has been an instrumental part of England’s National Team for almost a decade. He has 62 goals in only 89 appearances, making him England’s all-time top goalscorer. To put this in perspective, England’s second-highest goalscorer is Wayne Rooney, who only scored 53 goals in 120 appearances. Unfortunately, Kane’s individual brilliance has not translated to team success. Despite playing professionally at the highest level for over 10 years, Harry Kane has yet to win a single trophy with either club or country. This fact means he will be extraordinarily hungry and driven during the 2024 Euros since he is still chasing his first major trophy. His drive was already observed during England’s qualifying run since he scored 8 goals in 8 appearances, making him England’s top scorer during qualifying. We think Harry Kane will be one of the most impactful players during the tournament, and if we were in charge of selecting England’s squad, he would be the first player on our team sheet.
