Harry Kane will not break Robert Lewandowski's Bundesliga record and will only score seven more goals for Bayern Munich this season, predicts Dietmar Hamann.
England captain Kane has been a prolific finisher since joining Bayern in 2023, scoring 115 goals and setting up another 27 in 121 appearances in all competitions.
He has struck 19 times in 15 Bundesliga outings this season, putting him on track to challenge Robert Lewandowski's record haul of 41 in the 2020-21 season.
However, former Bayern and Liverpool midfielder Hamann, who has long been critical of the 32-year-old striker, does not anticipate him getting close to achieving the feat.
"Kane will not break Lewandowski's record and will finish the season with 26 goals," Hamann said as part of a string of quickfire predictions for Sky Sport Germany.
Lothar Matthaus was offering his opinions alongside Hamann and took the opposite view.
"This season, it really looks like [he can break it]. If everything goes as he and FC Bayern want and Kane doesn't get injured, 45 goals are possible," said Matthaus.
Kane will look to find his 20th Bundesliga goal of the season when Bayern return from the mid-season break with a home match against Wolfsburg on January 11.

Punditry from a position of hate and jealousy is always a turnoff. This dude can never be objective when it comes to Kane.

hamann is a jealous fool… kane scored 115 goals in 121 appearances and 19 out of 15 this season so what makes hamann think he’ll score only 7 goals in the remaining 17 bundesliga matches.

This guy Hamann sounded really arrogant and jealous also sounded like someone who knows very little about football
