  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Bayern won the Bundesliga by 13 points from second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, and Kane was absolutely central to that victory. He is now targeting both the Champions League with Bayern and the World Cup with England, as he looks to build on his first-ever taste of tangible success.

• WHAT HARRY KANE SAID

  Kane told Bayern's website: “To be named Player of the Season is a great achievement. There are some amazing players here in the league. And to do it in the same year we won the title as well just makes it that little bit more special. It means a lot.

  “Big thanks to the club here, all my teammates, all the staff, because without them, of course, it wouldn't be possible. I'm gonna enjoy it because I've worked extremely hard this season, so everything like this is just an added bonus.”
