Harry ready to 'Kane' the Gunners

BAYERN Munich striker Harry Kane returns to north London today to face old rivals Arsenal, arguably in the best form of his career after dropping into a deeper role.

Always a consistent goalscorer, the England captain has become a more complete player at Bayern, taking on additional creative and defensive responsibilities.

The 32-year-old’s form has been a major factor in Bayern’s remarkable start to the campaign. The German champions have won 17 and drawn one of their 18 games in all competitions this season, with Kane playing every match. Kane, who has scored 15 times in 21 matches against Arsenal, may be key to unlocking the Gunners’ stingy defence. Mikel Arteta’s side are the only team yet to concede in the Uefa Champions League this season, while in the Premier League they have shipped just six goals ~ the best defensive record in Europe’ top five leagues.

Kane is again producing outstanding numbers, with 24 goals in 18 Bayern appearances and five from five for England. But these figures only tell part of the story.
