What's interesting is that Kane doesn't shoot that much. He has 11 Bundesliga goals from 21 shots, with 16 of those shots on target. He also exceeds his expected goals (xG), which is at 5.89. This shows that Kane is not just lucky, but also has a high level of skill and accuracy.
Kane's hat-trick frequency is also unmatched. In 69 Bundesliga appearances, he has nine hat-tricks, one every 7.7 matches. Since his move to Germany, no other player in Europe's major leagues has registered more than four hat-tricks.
While other players, like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, are scoring at a high rate, no one is matching Kane's goal-scoring frequency. Since arriving from Tottenham in 2023, Kane has scored 73 goals in just 69 Bundesliga matches, a tally unmatched in Europe's major leagues during that time.
Kane's closest competitor, Serhou Guirassy, has 74 goals in 88 games across all competitions since the start of 2023-24. However, Kane continues to make everyone behind him look less impressive.
Some critics might say that Kane's stats are heavily swayed by the number of penalties he scores. However, Kane is an expert at handling the pressure that comes with scoring penalties. He has taken 28 penalties for Bayern Munich, scoring 27, with only one miss coming in the DFB-Pokal win over Wehen Wiesbaden.
Kane has spoken about rethinking his penalty technique after missing against France in the 2022 World Cup. He has since scored a penalty in the semi-final of Euro 2024, which was under high pressure.
It's hard to come up with a reason why Kane isn't the best striker in the world at the moment. While the Bundesliga might not be the most competitive league, Kane's goal-scoring volume outweighs that point of view. So, yes, Kane is the best striker on the planet... right now.
