by 95 million euros is a lot of money. There is no calculation that is valid for the average citizen with this figure. But in the football bubble it even sounds like little money if there is talk of signing a forward of Harry Kane’s level. Because it sounds ‘cheap’ to think that for a figure like that you will ensure the 22 goals that the Englishman has in just half of the season in the Bundesliga. And aim for the record.
Arrived from Tottenham in the summer, expectations were very high with the Brit. And he has not disappointed me. He has scored 22 goals after 16 Bundesliga games. His numbers, at the moment, are exact to those Robert Lewandowski had in the same period of time in his record 2020-21 season, according to data from ‘The Athletic’.
In that season, the most fruitful at the Bundesliga level for the current Barça footballer, Lewandowski ended up scoring 41 goals. And in 1971/72Gerd Müller scored 40 with the same colors, raising the record that Robert broke. But, at this point, Kane is more than the historic German ‘Bomber’ and is on the same level as the Pole. 22 points is not anything.
In his best league campaigns with Tottenham, Kane did not exceed 30 goals. He achieved it in the last one he played, 2022/23, after 38 games – all of them -. And in 2017/18, playing 37, in addition to scoring another seven in the Champions League. This season there are already four in six games. Lazio awaits in the second round. And he also has a record to break at the league level. There will be work to do and many networks to break.
