Signed for £0, now worth more than Saka: Spurs’ struck gold with 6 ft 2 phenomenon

If the former sensation could still play down N17, Ange Postecoglou’s team would be perfect.

Last summer, Ange Postecoglou was given the responsibility of spearheading Tottenham Hotspur’s comeback, and the Australian manager is showing a lot of promise so far in north London.

After Spurs’ dismal Premier League campaign, which ended with an eighth-place finish, chairman Daniel Levy felt that his team was approaching a turning point and that Arsenal, along with regulars Manchester City and Liverpool, were starting to lose ground.

Tottenham has had its share of ups and downs this season, but there’s no denying that the team is moving in the right way as they make astute transfers and play a compelling style of football.

Postecoglou has had several challenges since taking over an organization that had been known to be dishonest the previous year and dealing with Harry Kane’s £100 million move to Bayern Munich, a German powerhouse.

Even though it was inevitable that Kane would go, it would have been nice to have him at N17.

What Spurs’ Harry Kane accomplished

Kane spent a few nomadic years enjoying a string of loan stints with lower-league teams like Leicester City and Leyton Orient. His latent skill left him highly respected but not at the required level for a starring role. Kane did not immediately fit into the Tottenham first-team.

Back in 2012, he did made his Premier League debut, entering the game late in the season’s opening match at St. James’ Park as his team lost.

At the conclusion of the 2013–14 season, Kane made a comeback to leave his imprint. In the last six games of the season, he scored three goals and provided two assists to establish himself as a division leader and harbinger of future wealth.

The next Premier League season, Kane would score twenty-one goals, then twenty-eight, twenty-eight, and thirty. The incredible English player took aim, shot, and scored again and again. Once infamously labeled a “one-season wonder,” the record goalscorer for his nation disproved doubters with the devastating consistency of the greatest center-forwards in history.

The 30-year-old, who has played in 39 Champions League games for both Tottenham and Bayern Munich, has scored 25 goals and provided eight assists. Former Lilywhites manager Antonio Conte has lauded the player for having “world-class” abilities.

Anyone worth their salt would look at Kane and conclude that he is a player defined not by a cabinet of metal but by his merit, his world-class shooting ability, and his unwavering leadership and commitment on the pitch. That first elusive slice of silverware still sits tantalizingly out of reach.

Though he hasn’t won a title with Spurs, the 6′ 2″ star has left his mark on the record, with just Alan Shearer’s 260 Premier League goals surpassing Kane’s 213, who also has better consistency from goal to game.

Although he moved to Germany to lead Bayern, he remains a legendary goal scorer for Tottenham and among the best to have played in England.

Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich performance

To be honest, even if Bayern Munich isn’t exactly having the finest season, Kane hasn’t exactly had a hard time adjusting, as seen by his 31 goals and 8 assists for teammates in 31 games across all competitions.

According to Sofascore, the “phenomenon”—as Bayern Sports Director Christoph Freund put it—has amassed 27 goals and five assists in just 23 Bundesliga games. To top off this incredible success rate, he also creates nine big chances and wins 3.3 duels per game.

Kane was always regarded as one of the finest in the game, and even though he went to a seemingly lower league, he is now the center of attention for Bayern Munich, one of the top teams in Europe.

His status as one of the best football players on the continent is reflected in his market worth.

Harry Kane’s market value in 2024

Bayern Munich spent approximately £100 million to acquire the player. Although Football Transfers’ valuation model places his true transfer value at £93 million, Kane is regarded as the fourth most valuable player in the world, ahead of fellow countryman Bukayo Saka, who is ranked fifth.

It’s interesting to note that Kane is not the most valued English player available, but he also won’t challenge Jude Bellingham, who is a phenomenal player whose domination belies his age at only 20 years old, for that title. Bellingham joined Real Madrid last summer.

Even so, Kane is one of the most sought-after players in the game because of his inventiveness, skill at link-up and build-up play, dexterity in possession, and control in offensive sequences—all of which come close to matching his elite-level striking ability.

Kane is fundamentally one of the finest center-forwards in the game. He is a lethal marksman, and Saka cannot surpass him on the list of football’s most valuable players despite the fact that he is over thirty.

To be honest, the Arsenal superstar is one of the best players in the Premier League and gets better every month. In his last seven league games, he has scored eight goals and provided one assist.

Kane’s teammate is likely the most crucial player for Mikel Arteta’s Gunners as they pursue the championship. He has combined his playmaking prowess and defensive tenacity to complement his goal-scoring prowess, averaging 2.5 crucial passes, 2.0 tackles, and 6.0 successful duels per league game.

Saka, who is 22 years old, is not yet his country’s best player, but he does have age on his side and will surely go down as one of English football’s modern greats, barring any unexpected outside obstacles.

That title belongs to Kane, who is without a doubt the biggest celebrity in his nation even if he may be financially behind Bellingham.

With one year remaining on his contract, a sizable payout headed into north London, and a lifetime of unwavering loyalty that gave him the keys to open his own destiny, Tottenham can’t exactly lament the day he left for Germany, but it’s still a hard pill to take.

Kane left open the possibility that he may eventually don his charming attire again. However, consider the success Postecoglou would have right now if he were to lead the team into a bright future as the record goalscorer for both Tottenham and England.
