Harry Edward Kane was born on 28 July 1993 in Leytonstone, London, and grew up in Walthamstow and Chingford, joining Tottenham Hotspur's academy at age 11 after brief stints at Arsenal and Watford. He turned professional in 2010 and made his name on loan at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City before breaking into Tottenham's first team under Mauricio Pochettino from 2014.
Across 13 seasons at Tottenham (2009-2023) he became the club's all-time top scorer with 280 goals across 317 league appearances and won three Premier League Golden Boots (2016, 2017, 2021). In August 2023 Bayern Munich signed him for €100 million plus €10 million in bonuses, making him the most expensive signing in Bundesliga history. In his debut season he scored 36 league goals to win the European Golden Shoe, and the 2024-25 Bundesliga title gave him his first major club trophy. By 2025-26 he had become the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Europe's top five leagues for a single club.
For England he made his senior debut in March 2015 — scoring after 80 seconds — has captained the side since 2018 and is the country's all-time top scorer with around 80 goals. He won the 2018 World Cup Golden Boot, captained England to the Euro 2020 final and was joint top scorer at Euro 2024, also reaching the final.
Standing 1.88 m, Kane is a complete centre-forward — clinical with both feet, strong in the air, an elite passer who drops deep to create — widely regarded as one of the finest strikers of his generation.
