Harry Kane, Bayern Munich and England national team forward, won the prestigious European Golden Shoe award for the 2023/2024 season, becoming the first Englishman to achieve the feat since Kevin Philipps in 2000.
Kane scored an impressive 44 goals, including 36 in the league, the highest tally across Europe's top leagues.
Despite being the Premier League's top scorer multiple times, this was the first time Kane won the European Golden Shoe. He expressed his excitement and gratitude for the award, crediting everyone who supported him.
In his first season with Bayern Munich, Kane did not win any trophies, but his statistics met expectations. This season, he aims to match or exceed his previous statistics and win a major title with the team, which has started the new season well with wins in the league and German cup.
Kane's main objective is to help Bayern Munich win trophies and get the club back to winning, as he is still searching for his first trophy one year after moving from the Premier League. He emphasized the importance of winning championships as a team and expressed his desire for collective success, despite his personal accolades.
Lionel Messi has won the Golden Shoe award six times, the most of any player.
