Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl said Harry Kane’s return to England to represent the Three Lions could help him end a four-game run without a goal for Bayern. Kane is level with Peter Shilton on 125 England caps.
Kane’s goal drought
Kane remained scoreless during Bayern’s 2-1 victory over Mainz, having also failed to score against Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Assist numbers rise
Kane provided one assist against Atletico Madrid and two more in the win over Mainz. That took him to seven Bundesliga assists for the season, level with RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa at the top of the charts.
Eberl on Kane’s recent spell
Explaining to Bild, Eberl said: “First of all, it is important that he is involved in goals. Because the assist provider is just as valuable as the goalscorer.”
Eberl added: “I think the last 14 days were incredibly emotional for Harry with everything he was able to experience.”
England return
Eberl believes that returning to his homeland to represent the Three Lions will provide Kane with the perfect environment to recharge. He said: “I think it will do him good now to just go to England for a bit. He won't be celebrated any less there because he will break the sole record for the most international appearances for England if he is used.”
Closing his assessment of the situation, Eberl said: “But after that he will simply be Harry Kane again, the number nine, who will score goals for us again.”
