Harry Kane is having an unprecedented season.

He has already won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, is in the final of the DFB-Pokal, and will face PSG in the Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday. As of today, he is still in the mix to win every major club trophy, and in style.

Everybody knows Harry Kane is a top, top striker. He scores goals for fun, playmakes like prime Kevin de Bruyne, and is a quality defender, constantly helping with the press and tracking back to contribute defensively. But guess what? On top of all that, he is an EFFICIENT striker and outperforms his xG unlike any other player across Europe’s top 5 leagues. Yes, he leaves them all in the dust.

An INSANE 33 goals in the league from an xG of just 26.73? He basically takes all kinds of shots, including difficult ones, and converts them with high quality and efficiency. This is hardly surprising to anybody who has consistently watched Bayern Munich this season. He scores bangers and finesse shots like no other forward. The world’s most complete player is also a top, top striker.

The only player who, at nearly 100 million euros, has been a bargain transfer.
