Rummenigge hails Harry KaneKane was 'love at first sight' for the clubCurrently Bundesliga's top goal scorerWHAT HAPPENED?
Kane has enjoyed a great run of form ever since he moved to Germany to join Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer. He is currently the top goalscorer in the Bundesliga as he netted 21 times in just 15 appearances.
Former Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge heaped praise on the England captain and spoke about how he was convinced from the start that the striker would be a good fit at the club.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Bayern legend said, "I was sure from the start that it would be a good fit. What impresses me most about Harry is his team-friendly style of play. He goes every meter, he's not above running. And that also pulls the others along. The goals are just part of his quality.
"We are extremely happy with Harry. We were convinced from the start that we needed this type of player in order to be at the top in this position again. Because the 40 to 50 competitive goals that Robert Lewandowski had guaranteed us were able to be achieved by the other player. Unfortunately we can't compensate. It was probably love at first sight with Harry and the Bundesliga."
He added, "I think it's still too early to speculate about the season's best marks. He's a leader type, no question about it, and he wants to be one. It doesn't bother him. He likes to move forward, that's his way, he would never think of complaining about it."

For the first time in his career, the 30-year-old is enjoying a winter break as the Bundesliga takes a hiatus for over three weeks. It is a well-deserved break for the former Spurs star who will now come back revitalised and will aim to continue his red-hot form in the second half of the season and try to win multiple trophies with the Bavarian side.
