Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness has spoken on how striker Harry Kane has helped change the side.

Kane’s strike against Club Brugge in the Champions League took him to 20 goals in just 12 games, a record not even Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo have come close to.

Bayern are a joy to watch

The England star has been simply incredible since his move to the Bundesliga as he establishes himself as one of the best strikers in world football. Hoeness, speaking at the FC Bayern Museum on Thursday, opened up on how he wishes Bayern’s games would never end. 

"We are, of course, very, very satisfied with what we're seeing," he exclaimed in euphoria. "I've always said that when you have a team you're very happy with, you can finally relax in the stands. 

“I recently met Vincent Kompany for dinner and told him: 'It used to be that in the 80th minute, you hoped the game would end soon.' And now, in the 80th minute, you say: 'I hope they keep playing for a long time, because it's so much fun!'  

“The players are having fun. The fans are having fun. And we in the stands are having fun too. And that's actually the ideal situation right now, the way you want to imagine FC Bayern." 

Kane has transformed

This desire for games to carry on forever comes from Kane’s ability to score and endless amount of goals as he treats the German first division with little respect. Hoeness spoke on Kane and how he has transformed into a well rounded player this season. 

"What Harry Kane has produced here in the last year or two is absolutely top-notch," said Hoeness. "And what I like best about him: In the beginning, he was a goalscorer who played in his box, who waited for the balls to come.

"But today he's long since become a playmaker, he's a finisher, and above all, he's a player with a personality who inspires others on the pitch, who sets the direction, and that's exactly what we were looking for."
