Numbers don’t lie: Harry Kane is the best striker in the world

He scores as if there's no tomorrow – and this amazes people far beyond the Bundesliga. Harry Kane is currently blurring the lines of what's possible and surpassing two other star strikers.

While FC Bayern's offense has already caused a stir in the past, the English star striker is setting new standards this season. With a conversion rate of 42.1 percent, Kane leads all attackers in Europe's top leagues who have scored at least ten goals this season. This puts him well ahead of goal scorers Haaland (32.4%) and Mbappé (17.8%).

In addition to his impressive efficiency, the captain of the English national team also delivers top marks in terms of productivity: In eleven competitive matches so far, he has scored 19 goals and provided three assists. In comparison, Erling Haaland has 14 goals and one assist in ten appearances, while Kylian Mbappé has 15 goals and two assists in eleven games.

Coach Vincent Kompany recently raved as well. After the 2-1 victory against Borussia Dortmund, the Belgian found clear words: “Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored so many goals that you think it's normal – but over 400 goals are insane and madness,” the coach explained on Sky .

In this match, Kane not only scored his 12th league goal of the current season but also reached a special milestone: his 400th competitive goal at club level. Spread across five clubs, his record shows the full range of his career: 280 goals for Tottenham, 104 for FC Bayern , nine for Millwall, five for Leyton Orient, and two for Leicester. Additionally, there are 76 goals in the jersey of the English national team.

Besides his finishing strength, Kompany also praised Kane's team-oriented play. “What he achieved today: Harry also worked a lot defensively for us today and was a very important player for us,” said the Bayern coach after the BVB match.

His style of play combines composure with responsibility – and that at a world-class level. His defensive contribution, smart positioning, and vision, combined with his goal threat, make Kane a complete striker, as modern football demands.
