Harry Kane receives incredible apology from German media after previously being labelled €100m flop as Bayern Munich striker scores another hat-trick

Harry Kane received an incredible apology from the German media after some corners of the press previously questioned his €100 million price tag. Kane took his goals tally to eight in four Bundesluga matches for the 2025-26 campaign on Saturday as he scored a hat-trick in Bayern's 4-1 win over Hoffenheim. The England captain has scored 98 goals in 103 appearances since moving from Tottenham in 2023.

  Questions from German press over €100m transfer

  At the time of his move from Tottenham to Munich, several journalists in Germany questioned Bayern's decision to splash a whopping €100m (£87m/$117m) on a 30-year-old player, who at that point had not won a single trophy in his professional career. However, Kane proved his doubters wrong as he is already nearing 100 goals for the Bavarian side in just over two years.

  German journalist issues apology to 'Mr Kane'

  journalist Alfred Draxler wrote after Bayern's win at Hoffenheim: "I was one of those who viewed the €100m transfer from Tottenham to Bayern Munich in 2023 rather critically. I thought: too much money for a then 30-year-old who had never won a title. There are cheaper options. Niclas Fullkrug, for example, had scored 16 goals for Werder Bremen the previous season. 

  "[Kane is] never injured! That's not just luck. It speaks volume about strict discipline and hard training. I don't think Harry Kane is vacationing in a hotel where you have to reserve your lounger in the morning. If I ever meet him, I'd get up really early and put a towel on his lounger for him. I wouldn't do that for any English person!"

• Kane's ninth hat-trick for Bayern Munich

  Kane netted his ninth hat-trick for Bayern Munich against Hoffenheim and his second of this current season. He also has 70 Bundesliga goals to his name in just 67 appearances.
