Harry Kane is an English professional footballer, born on 28 July 1993. He plays as a striker for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and captains the England national team. According to Wikipedia he has scored more than 500 career goals and is the all-time top scorer of both Tottenham Hotspur and England.

The IFFHS, FourFourTwo and Bleacher Report all ranked Kane No. 3 among the world's men's players in 2025, The Guardian placed him fifth and Sports Illustrated (Español) seventh; he is also among the 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. FourFourTwo pointed to 114 goals in his first 120 Bayern games and to the way he dropped deeper to run games when needed. Bleacher Report praised his "footballing brain", and Sports Illustrated (Español) called him the most intelligent number 9 in the world.

Kane spent 14 years at Tottenham, with loans to Leyton Orient, Millwall, Leicester City and Norwich City, and finished as the Premier League top scorer in three seasons; he is the league's second-highest all-time scorer with 213 goals. He joined Bayern in 2023 for €110 million, a Bundesliga record, and won the European Golden Shoe with 36 league goals in his first season. In 2024–25 he won the Bundesliga, his first major trophy, and in 2025–26 Bayern won the domestic double, with Kane scoring a hat-trick in the DFB-Pokal final.
