Wait 5 sec.

Seasoned German journalist Alfred Draxler has admitted that he was wrong in his assessment of Harry Kane when the striker first arrived from Tottenham.Tottenham Hotspur fans have been telling the world for a long time that Kane is up there with the best players of this generation.It is only now, following two seasons at Bayern, that the England captain finally seems to be getting the credit he deserves.Kane continues to break records and make his critics eat their words. His latest showing against Chelsea in the Champions League has proven enough to convert a long-time detractor.(Credit @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram)German journalist admits he was wrong about Harry Kane after he joined from TottenhamWhen Bayern paid a club-record fee for the former Tottenham man, many in Germany were sceptical about the deal, with journalist Raimund Hinko describing Kane as a ‘penalty-taking specialist’.Alfred Draxler was another vocal critic of the signing, but he has now admitted that he was completely wrong and apologised to the Tottenham legend.Draxler wrote in his column for Bild (as relayed by Sport Witness): “Harry Kane [32] practically single-handedly decided the match against Club World Cup winners Chelsea.“He won a penalty, scored it himself! And then sealed the first Champions League victory of the season with the 3-1 win. That’s what a true superstar does! And he does it so often and so confidently that you’d almost think it was a given. But it isn’t! In any case, it’s high time I formally apologised to Mr. Kane. Sorry, I was completely wrong!“I was one of those who were rather critical of the transfer of Tottenham to Bayern in 2023 for €100m. Kane is exactly the man who makes the difference. Today I know: He’s worth every cent of the €100m.”Alfred Draxler is in awe of Kane’s all-round gameKane’s numbers are nothing short of insane, with the striker having amassed 127 goal contributions (98 goals and 29 assists) in just 103 appearances for the Bavarian side.However, it is the 32-year-old’s all-round game and his humility that have impressed Draxler the most.The journalist added: “What also impresses me: When he drops back and plays long passes. His hit rate is over 70%. He’s a playmaker and goalscorer rolled into one. And he’s never injured! That’s not just luck. It speaks for strict discipline and hard training.“And he also comes across as down-to-earth and humble. Almost too much of a good thing! I don’t think Harry Kane vacations in a hotel where you have to reserve your sunbed in the morning. If I ever meet him, I’d get up very early and put a towel on his sunbed for him. I wouldn’t do that for any other Englishman!”READ MORE: Tottenham loanee Luka Vuskovic reflects on his ‘tough battle’ with Harry Kane in 5-0 drubbingThe post German journalist apologises for his comments about Harry Kane after Tottenham transfer appeared first on Spurs Web.
