Players to watch: England's Harry Kane is chasing history 03.06.2026

Harry Kane is set to participate in his third World Cup with England at the age of 32, aiming to make history as the tournament's leading scorer. Following an exceptional 2025/2026 season with Bayern Munich, where he scored 61 goals in 51 games and achieved a hat-trick in the DFB Pokal final, Kane has solidified his status as England's all-time leading scorer with 78 goals. His national team coach, Thomas Tuchel, emphasized Kane's irreplaceable threat to any team. The expanded 48-team World Cup format offers Kane ample opportunity to surpass Gary Lineker's England World Cup goal record of 10. Kane, who transferred to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2023, has already scored 98 goals in 94 Bundesliga matches for his new club and is considered their best transfer ever.
