    Kane has scored a sensational 22 goals in 17 games in all competitions, including 18 in 12 Bundesliga matches.
    It means he is on course to break Robert Lewandowski’s single-season record of 41 goals in Germany’s top flight.
    But Bayern are still not top of the Bundesliga table despite winning 10 and drawing two of their opening 12 matches.
    That is because Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen have dropped just two points, giving them a two-point lead heading into December. More

      His strike extends his lead as the league’s top scorer as Kane poked home after an effort was cleared off the line.
      It means the summer signing from Tottenham is the highest-scoring Englishman ever in the German top flight and the first player to ever reach 18 goals from the first 12 games of a Bundesliga season.
      Kane said afterwards: “It was a really good game for us today.
      “Some people look at the result and might have expected a little more. But it was a fantastic game from everyone. We could have scored three goals in the first half alone.

      “The result was the most important thing. It never looked dangerous, which is a good sign.”
      His goal haul surpasses the 17 notched in a single season by Three Lions’ legend Kevin Keegan and England winger Jadon Sancho.
      Keegan spent three years in Germany with Hamburg, winning two Ballon d’Ors during that time.
      His 32 Bundesliga goals included 17 during the 1978/79 season as he fired his side to the title.

      That record was equalled in 2019/20 as Sancho paired 17 assists with an equal number of goals across 32 league appearances for Dortmund.
      He joined Manchester United a year later, clearing the path for Kane to break the record this season.
      As well as 18 league goals, he has also found the net four times in as many Champions League matches.
      Kane previously set a new record for the quickest player to reach 15 Bundesliga goals in a season, but has since been surpassed, as well as outscoring last season’s golden boot winner.
      He is on course to break more records, with Robert Lewandowski’s 22 goals in the first half of the 2020/21 season now in his sights.
      Bayern have four more league matches remaining before the winter break.

      While a second fumed: “These are signings should have made in the previous decade.”
      A third blasted: “In a team that has no physicality or energy, Erik wanted to sign a player who’s legs have gone? Luckily transfers wont be in his hands soon.”
      Another added: “Just need to purchase a good walking stick.”

      A fresh report has claimed that German heavyweights Bayern and Dortmund have withdrawn themselves from the race to sign Chalobah.
      German sports journalist Florian Plettenberg confirmed both clubs are “out of the race for Trevoh Chalobah” and they are “not planning his transfer in winter.”
      Chalobah has still not played a minute for the Blues this term due to an issue with his hamstring.
      The ex-England U21 international is expected to return at the end of January the report claims.

      The centre-back was heavily linked to a move away from the Premier League despite having another four years left on his contract.
      Bayern was near to snatching Chalobah in the summer but a fee was unable to be agreed upon between the Blues and Bayern.
      However, it seems unlikely that Bayern will pursue the Blues defender again in the January window.
      Dortmund will continue to look to bring in full-back reinforcements in the new year but without the Englishman on their radar.

      He has played as a centre-back, left-back and right-back since the start of the campaign, providing cover for Oleksandr Zinchenko and the injured Jurrien Timber.

      He sits top of the Bundesliga scoring charts, has already hit three hat-tricks and netted from inside his own half.
      If Kane can continue his sensational form, he looks set to smash a record set by Robert Lewandowski.
      In the 2020/21 season, the now Barcelona star scored 48 goals in all competitions, 41 of which game in the league.
      The Pole’s goal scoring feat eclipsed the Bundesliga record held by legend Gerd Muller, who found the back of the net 40 times in one season in 1971/72.

      Many believed the achievement would never be broken but just three years later Kane is on course to blow it out the water.
      After 11 games in 2020/21, Lewandowski had scored 13 times.
      And this season Kane has already netted 17 Bundesliga goals in the same amount of games, meaning he is five ahead of where his rival was at during his record-breaking campaign.
      His goal scoring has meant he has swiftly become a fans’ favourite in Bavaria.

      So much so that Bayern Munich are reportedly expecting to sell 100,000 Kane shirts by the end of this season.
      They think that by Christmas they would have sold more kits with their No9’s name on the back than any other player in an entire season in the club’s history.
      Previous reports claimed that 10,000 Kane jerseys were purchased by supporters on the day he signed for Bayern.
      The home kit with the striker’s name and number printed on it costs £100.58 on the club’s website.
      Therefore if they sell 100,000 as expected, Bayern will generate £10m from Kane shirt sales. More
