According to Tony Cascarino, Harry Kane has improved in the short space of time since leaving Tottenham, and looks more physically imposing than ever before.
Harry Kane was pretty good at Spurs, let’s be honest. The talismanic striker rose through the Tottenham academy to become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, and will forever hold a legendary status among the fans.
After months of speculation, Kane ended his long affiliation with Spurs and made a big money move to Bayern Munich at the start of August. The deal to sign the England captain cost an initial £86m, but could rise to over £100m (Sky Sports).
It’s been a terrific star for Kane since he moved to Germany, too. The forward has nine goals and five assists in his first ten games for the Bundesliga champions (Transfermarkt).
He added to his international tally earlier this week, too, scoring two goals in the 3-1 win over Italy to help England seal qualification for next summer’s European Championships.

Is Harry Kane better than ever?
Commenting on Kane after the game, Cascarino was full of praise for the former Tottenham marksman, and explained how the 30-year-old has changed recently.
He told The Times: “I have never seen Kane look as physically imposing as he did against Italy… He was holding off opposition defenders with tremendous upper body strength, and on the rare occasions when an Italy player got close enough to give him a shoulder barge, he barely moved.
“Although he has never been easy to shove off the ball, the physicality Kane displayed throughout this performance was a step up from his Tottenham Hotspur days. However, he has not been at Bayern Munich long enough for this change to be solely a product of his move to Germany.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Kane has been on fire in his early days in Germany, and doesn’t look like he’s slowing down any time soon. I think that it’s quite natural for a player like Kane to show signs of improvement after joining a different league and finding himself up against a different challenge.
