Harry Kane surpasses Greaves: Will the Englishman become the best goalscorer in history?.
Harry Kane: An undiscovered genius
According to The Sun: Five years ago Harry Kane had one of the most remarkable individual seasons in Premier League history. The captain of the English national team won the Golden Boot as the top scorer and the award for most assists of the season with a total of 37 goals in 35 games.

However, it is worth noting that Kane did not receive the “Player of the Year” award from experts in the press center. He was also not recognized by his peers, and he was not awarded the PFA award.
In his ten years of career, Kane has not received any of these awards, even though he often had to carry the suffering Tottenham team.
Fear of being overlooked
Despite his successes, Kane remains undervalued in his homeland. During the gathering of the English national team in March, he noted that he is taken for granted and that people react to his successes in the national team "boringly."
“Kane will only be appreciated in England when he is gone”
This season he has already scored 13 goals for the Bavarian club, including eight in four Bundesliga matches.

Future in the national team
This season, no English striker has scored more than one goal in the Premier League, as there are catastrophically few in the English top league. The absence of Kane will significantly reduce England's chances of winning the World Cup title in the summer.
After scoring three goals in the match against Hoffenheim, Kane has a total of 468 goals at club and national team level, surpassing Jimmy Greaves's record. He surpasses Alan Shearer and Dixie Dean by 59 and 60 goals respectively, and among national team players, Kane has 21 goals more than the previous record holder Wayne Rooney.

Kane has always excelled in matches against top teams, scoring ten goals against the world champions – the Czech national team, three goals against France and Italy, and four against Germany.
Why is he undervalued?
The question of why Kane remains undervalued is still relevant. Perhaps it is due to the general negativity towards Tottenham or the criticism culture in social media. Perhaps he simply lacks the charisma that would set him apart from other stars.

Statistically, Kane has every reason to be considered one of the best goalscorers in football history, alongside names like Erling Haaland, Jimmy Greaves, Alan Shearer, and Dixie Dean. His contract with Bayern runs until 2027, and a return to England may be possible thereafter.
We will closely monitor his successes at Bayern. As he enters his third season at Bayern, he is just one goal away from one hundred.
