Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich in 2023 has come under scrutiny by an ex-Ballon d'Or recipient.
England's record goalscorer and skipper left Tottenham Hotspur for a fee worth £82m after previously spending his whole career with the North London side.
Kane has ended his trophy duck since moving to Germany, as Vincent Kompnay's won the Bundesliga last season.
The striker has also had success from an individual standpoint in a Bayern shirt, registering 91 goals in just 100 appearances for the club so far.
Kane's exploits in his first season with the German giants saw him finish 10th in the race for the 2024 Ballon d'Or award.
After enduring a second successful campaign for Bayern, he was named among the 30 nominees for this year's Ballon d'Or prize, which will be announced later this month in Paris.

Kane's move to Germany criticised by ex-England star and Ballon d'Or winner
While Kane will be satisfied with what he has achieved since joining Bayern, and many will mark the move a success, not everyone is convinced it was the correct decision.
2001 Ballon d'Or recipient and former England striker Michael Owen believes Kane was better off staying with Spurs so he could achieve one particular feat.

"I disagreed with him going to Germany. I still think he was nuts. You're on the verge of being the all-time Premier League goalscorer," Owen said on Rio Ferdinand Presents.
Kane departed Spurs having netted 213 goals in English football's top flight, 47 behind the record set by Alan Shearer.
"Being the top goalscorer ever in Premier League would have been unbelievable," Owen added.
The former Liverpool and Real Madrid star feels becoming the Premier League's record goalscorer trumps winning the Bundesliga, as the German league is not the most competitive.
"It's like if you move to Celtic and win the league. It's won every year, there's no great achievement in that," he stated.
Despite Owen not being a fan of Kane relocating to Germany, he expressed high praise for the 32-year-old, describing him as "a brilliant finisher" and an "unbelievable" player.
