Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has compared Harry Kane to a number of chance creators as he adapt at the club.

Kane bagged his 20th league goal of the campaign this week as he scored against Wolfsburg meaning he has now scored at least 20 Bundesliga goals in each of his three seasons in Germany’s top flight.

The England captain is finding life in Germany easy, with goals coming every week for the former Tottenham star who cannot stop finding the back of the net. 

However, despite his goals, Kompany spoke ahead of this weekend’s clash with RB Leipzig about how the striker is also help create opportunities in Bayern’s ruthless attack. 

“All of our players have a lot of freedom in their position. Harry is allowed to move freely, in the box and behind it. This isn't just about tactics, but about adapting to the respective game.  

“He sometimes has passes in him like Toni Kroos and Kevin De Bruyne. But in the end, he always has to be in the penalty area.” 

Kane set up Raphaël Guerreiro in the win over Wolfsburg before bagging a goal of his own. The Bayern leader is known for his goals but as he ages he is starting to sit back more and set up goals for his teammates as the spoils are shared amongst the squad.
