What is Bundesliga goals record for single season? Mark that Harry Kane can break with Bayern Munich image

Harry Kane will be relishing the chance to show what he can do in the Bundesliga after completing a transfer move to defending champions Bayern Munich.

Kane opted to leave Tottenham after 19 years at the club from youth team player to first team superstar as the England captain now prepares for a new life in Germany.

Frustration over a lack of a major title at Spurs was a key factor in Kane's decision to leave English football but his own level of performance has remained superb in recent seasons.

Bayern will be hoping he can offer them something extra in the Bundesliga and Champions League title battles after an impressive end to his time in the Premier League.

What is the Bundesliga one-season goal record?

Bayern have been on the hunt for a goal scoring centre-forward for the last 12 months following Robert Lewandowski's move to Barcelona in 2023.

Lewandowski's incredible goal record at Bayern broke new ground as the Poland international smashed the iconic Gerd Muller's one-season Bundesliga goal record in 2020/21.

Muller netted 40 Bundesliga goals for Bayern Munich back in 1971/72, but Lewandowski went one better with 41 in his penultimate season in Bavaria, and scored 35 league goals in 2021/22, before moving on.

All-time top Bundesliga scorers

Muller remains at No.1 in the overall Bundesliga scoring charts, with Lewandowski just behind, in a top ten list that is dominated by some of the biggest names in German football.
