      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

      According to German outlet BILD, Man Utd are keen on the prospect of signing him.
      The Red Devils initially considered a move for Lukeba earlier this year but did not submit a bid.

      Ten Hag is understood to be eager to bolster his squad in January and at the end of the season.
      The Red Devils have already been linked with a move for both Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana and Lecce striker Nikola Krstovic.

      Man City ‘considering shock transfer for former player sold by Pep Guardiola but face competition from Liverpool’

      Sane, 27, has been in excellent form for Bayern this season and has benefited in particular from the arrival of Harry Kane.
      The winger has eight goals and six assists in 11 Bundesliga games this season.
      His contract is up in 2025, meaning Bayern may look to cash in by selling in the upcoming summer window.
      Sane’s transfer to Bayern in 2020 took many by surprise, with the winger then being one of the Premier League’s finest young talents.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Bayern paid £54.1 million for the German international with many saying that it was an argument with Pep Guardiola that convinced the club to sell.
      Sane had also missed much of the 2019-20 season with a knee injury before making his transfer.
      While Sane is being linked with Liverpool and Manchester City, Bild do report that he is in negotiations to renew his contract at Bayern – so this could be a ploy for a bigger payout on that particular deal.
      Liverpool are quite stacked in the wing position as it stands.

      The Reds have Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz that all play in the position with Cody Gakpo sometimes operating off the left too.
      Sane could definitely be an option if Salah were to leave next summer for Saudi Arabia.
      The Reds had their resolve tested when the Saudi Pro League offered £150million in the closing stages of the transfer window but remained firm.
      But with Liverpool now firmly aware of Saudi’s interest, a move for Sane could be part of their contingency plans should Salah leave. More

      The Swiss led them to their first Bundesliga promotion in his debut season and followed that up by qualifying for Europe for the past three seasons.
      Fischer then led them to the Champions League, where they are competing for the first time this term, but has departed after a disastrous run of form domestically.
      Union Berlin are currently bottom of the Bundesliga and are winless in 14 matches across all competitions.
      They have named their U19 boss Marco Grote as interim manager while they wait to appoint a permanent successor.

      However, the announcement of Marie-Louise Eta, 32, as his assistant has marked a groundbreaking moment.
      She has worked closely as Grote’s No.2 for the U19s after taking up that role in June 2023.
      Eta previously worked as an assistant coach for a number of women’s national teams after hanging up her boots following a career playing Hamburger SV, BV Cloppenburg and Werder Bremen. 
      The former German international will now make history on November 25 when she becomes the first woman in the dugout for a Bundesliga game when her team face FC Augsburg.

      Union Berlin club president confirmed the news of Fischer’s exit, along with his assistant Markus Hoffman, in a statement that read: “I only recently made it clear that Urs Fischer is an excellent coach, and I continue to be absolutely convinced of that. 
      “His personality and his successful work have shaped our club in recent years and opened up many new opportunities for us. 
      “During these five-and-a-half years of our collaboration, respect and trust developed between us, on the basis of which we were able to exchange ideas openly and honestly at any time.
      “Together we have now come to the conclusion that now is the time to take a different path.
      “For me personally and certainly for the entire Union family, this is a very sad moment. It hurts that we haven’t been able to break the negative trend of the last few weeks. 
      “Looking back on the time we spent together and the successes we celebrated together, I am grateful and proud. As painful as this separation is, Urs Fischer leaves as a friend who will be welcomed by us with open arms at all times.”

      Manchester United and West Ham are among the clubs all around Europe who also like the look of the German international and Newcastle could face stiff competition.
      Tah, 27, has been outstanding in Leverkusen’s impressive start to the season which put them top of the Bundesliga going into this weekend’s fixtures.

      Tah joined Leverkusen from Hamburg in a deal worth around £6.5m in 2015.
      He has gone on to make 321 appearances for them to date.
      The commanding defender has missed just one game in all competitions so far this term and has already scored four goals.
      Tah has earned 19 caps for Germany and will hope to play a key part in Euro 2024, which they will host.
