Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel says Harry Kane is capable of breaking Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals in a single season in the Bundesliga, and the England captain is enjoying a sensational start to life for the German champions.
Kane scored his 22nd league goal of the season in Friday’s 3-0 win over Hoffenheim, and has now scored in all three Bundesliga games since leaving Tottenham.
He is on course to surpass the mark set by Lewandowski in May 2021, when the Polish striker surpassed Bayern Gerd Mueller’s record that stood for 39 years.
“He’s in danger and nobody can imagine he’d be in danger, but he is,” Tuchel told the Bundesliga website.
“We need a bit of luck, we need the team to keep going, Harry needs to be fit, then we’ll see what happens.”
Kane left Spurs in August on a €100 million ($109 million) contract and made his debut in Germany, scoring 26 goals in 23 games in all competitions.
“It’s just a gift, I feel very privileged to be their coach,” said Tuchel, whose four-time leader Bayer Leverkusen still has a game in hand.
“The guy is super humble, he’s the first out there on the pitch every single day, anything you ask of him, he will do it, he’s a huge personality who is so humble but becomes a shark on the field, because he wants to score, he wants to win.”
“He does it on the base. He doesn’t just score on the base, he trains well, he does the right thing, he shows his quality.
“He calms everyone around him, he makes everyone older by his mere presence. It’s the level, I can say it, as a human being but also as a footballer, the level. “
