You know the numbers. At the time of writing, Harry Kane has notched an unbelievable 12 goals and 3 assists in 7 Bundesliga matches while showing no sign of slowing down. In a season in which the England captain is dropping back further and further to facilitate the play and spray incredible long passes across the pitch, he is scoring more than ever before. How incredible is that?

Harry Kane helped me a lot," Tel began (Telegraph Football via @iMiaSanMia). "Four days ago, he sent me a voice note, and we spoke together about how I can be better, about finishing, positioning in the box. He told me 'Whenever you want to call me, just call me. We're going to talk together and try to find what is the best work for you.'

I was still at Hoffenheim, but my transfer had already been announced, when I received a message from Joshua Kimmich. He got my number and simply texted me. He said that when he joined Bayern, he hadn't played a single Bundesliga game yet - and yet he still believed he could make the move. And that he believed I could do it too.

I'd say that was probably the worst that I felt in any moment," he said. "Obviously, I've lost finals before. To have that responsibility, you almost feel like it fell on my shoulders, and I guess not being able to execute something that I've been able to execute many a time in my career, I think that was the hardest part to process and take.

When you're at a club like Tottenham, we've done well and I've done well, but I want to be [ Cristiano Ronaldo] or [ Lionel Messi].

He is a striker in form, netting well over a goal a game, scoring in almost every match this season. He is leading his club's title charge and taking his country to the brink of the World Cup. Usually this would be a remarkable introduction for any one player. But this season it applies to not one, not two, but three of Europe's leading strikers.

Kane reached his century of goals for Bayern with a double in a 4-0 win against Werder Bremen. He achieved the feat in 104 games, putting him ahead of Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo as the fastest player to reach 100 for a single club in Europe's top five leagues - after they hit the landmark for Manchester City and Real Madrid in 105 games.
