Harry Kane put another amazing season to bed and created an extraordinary amount of distance between himself and Europe’s other elite goalscorers since joining Bayern Munich. According to Transfermarkt data (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Kane has scored 146 goals in 147 games across all competitions since his move from Tottenham in 2023. No player from Europe’s top five leagues has scored more during that span:
The gap to the rest of the list is striking. Kylian Mbappé, who played for Paris Saint-Germain and now plays for Real Madrid during this period, ranks second with 130 goals in 151 games, while Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has scored 108 in 143 appearances.
Kane’s advantage over Mbappé is particularly notable. The Bayern striker has scored 16 more goals despite playing four fewer games, giving him a scoring rate of almost exactly one goal per appearance.
Former VfB Stuttgart and current Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy follows Haaland with 90 goals in 126 games, while former Bayern striker and fellow MLS competitor of Thomas Müller, Robert Lewandowski, ranks fifth with 87 goals in 147 appearances. Lewandowski currently plays for Chicago Fire. Lautaro Martínez, Mohamed Salah, Alexander Sørloth, Vinícius Junior and Julián Álvarez round out the top 10.
Kane’s numbers have been boosted by yet another remarkable campaign. He scored 61 goals for Bayern in all competitions during the 2025/26 season and claimed his third consecutive Bundesliga scoring title after finding the net 36 times. He also contributed significantly to Bayern’s first DFB-Pokal victory since the 2019/20 season, scoring 10 goals in the competition and even completing a hat trick in the final.
Three years after arriving in Munich, Kane isn’t merely among Europe’s best goalscorers. The numbers suggest he has established a clear lead over the continent’s other elite forwards. At 33, the England international is arguably in the form of his life and has put himself firmly in the Ballon d’Or conversation. If he extends his stay in Munich, Bayern should be in for plenty more goals in the years to come.
