Harry Kane has received a public apology from German media after critics questioned his €100 million transfer to Bayern Munich. The England captain scored a hat-trick in Bayern’s 4-1 win over Hoffenheim, taking his tally to eight goals in four Bundesliga games this season.
Kane Silences Critics After €100 Million Move
When Kane joined Bayern Munich from Tottenham in 2023 for €100 million, some German journalists questioned the hefty price tag for a 30-year-old striker who had yet to win a major trophy. Critics suggested Bayern could have signed cheaper alternatives, such as Niclas Fullkrug.
However, Kane has silenced doubters, scoring 98 goals in 103 appearances across all competitions and nearing 100 goals for Bayern in just over two years. His consistency, discipline, and fitness have made him an indispensable part of the Bavarian attack.
German Journalist Publicly Apologizes
After Kane’s latest performance, BILD journalist Alfred Draxler issued a personal apology.
“I was one of those who viewed the €100 million transfer from Tottenham critically,” Draxler wrote. “Kane has proved me wrong. He’s never injured, disciplined, and works harder than anyone else in training. If I ever met him, I’d wake up early just to put a towel on his sun lounger!”
This admission highlights the England striker’s professionalism and growing respect in German football circles.
Kane’s Hat-Trick Heroics
Kane’s hat-trick against Hoffenheim was his ninth for Bayern Munich and second of the 2025-26 season. He has also scored 70 Bundesliga goals in just 67 appearances, demonstrating his lethal finishing and importance to Bayern’s title ambitions.
The 30-year-old striker opened the scoring with a precise strike before adding two more clinical finishes in the second half, helping Bayern dominate the fixture and maintain momentum at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Conclusion and Upcoming Fixtures
Harry Kane continues to prove that Bayern Munich’s €100 million investment was justified. With his consistent form, Kane is a key figure as Bayern aim for Bundesliga and Champions League glory. The team will next face Borussia Dortmund in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday, where Kane is expected to lead the attack once again.
