Harry Kane wins Gerd Müller trophy and finishes 10th in Ballon d'Or voting

Bayern Munich and England striker Harry Kane has won the Gerd Müller trophy, making him the second Bayern striker to win the award named after the club legend, after Robert Lewandowski did so in 2021.

Kane has also finished in 10th place for the Ballon d'Or award - the only Bayern representative in the final 30 of voting for the award.

The striker joined Bayern in August 2023, and despite a tough collective season, he never looked back, putting up unprecedented numbers in his first season.

The numbers from Harry Kane's record breaking debut season for Bayern Munich

On his Bundesliga debut, Kane put up a goal and assist in a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen. In his fifth game, he scored a hat-trick at home to VfL Bochum to make it seven goals in his first five appearances.

Back-to-back hat-tricks against Darmstadt and Borussia Dortmund meant the England captain had scored 15 goals in just 10 Bundesliga games to get his start to life in Germany off to an absolute flyer. By the time the winter break had come along, Kane had scored 21 goals in 16 Bundesliga appearances.

The week where he scored back-to-back hat-tricks against Darmstadt and Borussia Dortmund really summed up Kane's contrasting season on an individual and collective basis. In between those two games, the striker was an unused sub - watching his side get knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by a third division side.

In the Bundesliga, Kane finished the season with 36 goals in just 32 games. In the Champions League, he netted eight goals in 12 games, as well as providing a further four assists, meaning in all competitions, he had scored 44 goals and provided 12 assists in just 48 games for Bayern.

The change of club scenery did not seem to impact his form for England. Kane scored or assisted in all of his first four games for the national team after joining Bayern, including a brace against Italy to secure the Three Lions' qualification for Euro 2024.

He would score in a Euros warm-up game against Bosnia, though failed to reach his usual heights at the finals themselves. Seemingly carrying the back injury that forced his ill-fated withdrawal against Real Madrid, Kane looked very much off the pace throughout the tournament, as he captained England to a runners-up medal for the second consecutive time.

Still, his three goals was enough for him to win the Golden Boot, sharing it with five other players. Overall, for club and country, Kane recorded 52 goals and 13 assists in 62 games.
