ABOUT HARRY KANE
World Cup pedigree
Harry Kane is England's all-time leading scorer (66 goals) and won the Golden Boot at WC2018. WC2022 ended with his missed penalty against France in the quarter-final, his lowest moment in an England shirt. WC2026 is his fourth and most likely final World Cup.
Role for England
Bayern Munich's primary striker, Kane is England's #9 and penalty taker. His role under Tuchel is to drop deep, link play, and arrive late in the box — he is no longer the highest-velocity striker but his finishing efficiency from quality chances is among the best in the world.
WC2026 outlook
Top-3 Golden Boot favourite (around 9-11/1) — Kane's club form at Bayern (30+ Bundesliga goals each season) and England's potentially deep run make him a strong value play if England reach the semi-finals. Set-piece + penalties give him a baseline scoring floor.
