Wait 5 sec.

Harry Kane believes Vincent Kompany has elevated his game as he continues to thrive at Bayern Munich.Bayern have won back-to-back Bundesliga titles under Kompany, with Kane spearheading their attack.Over the past two seasons, Kane has scored 102 goals in 102 games across all competitions.Kane's overall tally at Bayern, whom he joined from Tottenham in 2023, stands at 146 goals in 147 games. Those strikes have come from 114.7 expected goals (xG).But Kane feels he has stepped up his levels in the two years he has worked under Kompany."Since the boss has come in here, he's elevated my game to another level," he told Henry Winter in an interview with FourFourTwo."That's down to the style of play, the way we attack, the way we defend, the way he gives the players freedom to come and receive the ball sometimes deeper, and arrive in the box later."With the team I have around me, with the players I have, and the system that we play from the coach, it's just elevated me to another level."I feel extremely comfortable on the pitch. I know where I should be. I know where the players are going to be."A special evening! pic.twitter.com/xGNzMQvtFN— Harry Kane (@HKane) August 19, 2026Kane is closing in on a Bundesliga record.He has plundered 98 goals in 94 matches in the competition, meaning he is set to shatter the record for getting to 100 Bundesliga goals, which is currently held by Dieter Muller, who did so in 129 appearances.Indeed, Kane could be the fastest player to 100 goals in any of the top five leagues, apart from LaLiga (Cristiano Ronaldo needed 92 games to score 100 league goals for Real Madrid).Kane scored 61 goals in all competitions last term, which is 19 more than any other player to feature for a team from Europe's top five leagues.His aim now is to go even further in 2026-27. "That’s the aim. You know me, it's always to improve," he said."It's such a big number and, for sure, going to be difficult to beat. But the team I have around me, the way I'm feeling right now mentally and physically, there's no reason why I can't push that level again."The goals are a consequence of loads of hard work behind the scenes, doing stuff every day when people aren't watching. It's just about improving on all those little aspects as well."Bayern's season gets under way on Saturday when they face Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.The post Kane credits Bayern boss Kompany with elevating his game appeared first on SoccerNews.
