Harry Kane responds to criticism from Michael Owen

Harry Kane has fired back at Michael Owen’s criticism of his Bayern Munich move.

Former England striker Michael Owen recently criticised Harry Kane’s decision to join Bayern Munich in 2023, arguing that there is “no great achievement” in winning the Bundesliga.

Speaking to the press ahead of England’s clash with Serbia, Kane addressed Owen’s remarks.

“I heard it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’ve spent a bit of time with him but don’t know him well. Obviously he is a Premier League great and an England great as well so I’ll respect him as a person. But ultimately, as he will know, everyone’s career is different – everyone’s decisions and motivations are different,” said Kane.

“I know he was insinuating I went just for the trophy but it was to be at the highest level for as long as possible and I’m really happy in that sense of playing big games, title runs, big Champions League matches, Club World Cup quarter-final. I feel I’m improving as a player, I’m pushing my limits as a player in terms of goalscoring and just improving.

“It’s hard not to hear things these days but the decisions are best for me and I’m really happy that I made that decision and very happy at Bayern Munich now.”

Since his move to Germany, Kane has scored an astonishing 91 goals in 100 appearances for Bayern.
