Against Hoffenheim, Kane’s goals came in typical ruthless fashion, breaking the deadlock just before the interval and then coolly dispatching two penalties in the second half.With 13 goals in just seven matches across all competitions, Kane has fired Bayern to a flawless start to the season and firmly established himself as the main man under Kompany.
Gnabry has now given an insight into what makes Kane more than just a goal machine. Speaking to Sky Sport, the winger insisted Kane brings a rare quality to Bayern’s set-up; a selfless edge.
“Harry is incredibly important to our game,” he admitted. “What he gives in the game, not just his goals, which speak for themselves. His numbers, but also how he commits to the team. That’s very, very important, and you rarely have a player like that on your team, who plays like that and then contributes like that.”
Gnabry also pointed out the chemistry within Bayern’s revamped forward line, which now includes Luis Díaz and Michael Olise alongside Kane. The former Arsenal man revealed that harmony in the dressing room has been just as vital as the quality on the pitch.
“Playing with Luis is fun,” he revealed. “But we also have a really good chemistry with Michael and Harry. There’s no one there, which is very important, who has a huge ego, who wants to be the frontrunner. I think that helps a team immensely.”
Kane’s next challenge comes this weekend against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga as Bayern look to continue their perfect domestic run. But the real test of his influence will come a few days later when the German champions jet off to Cyprus for a Champions League showdown with Pafos on October 1.
