Harry Kane has been accused of being “selfish”, of everything revolving around him and of being laughed at by “everyone in England”.
This is the surprising opinion of Manchester United icon Paul Parker, who also said that Tottenham should be “delighted” that the 30-year-old has joined Bayern Munich.
The England captain has been downright sensational since swapping Spurs for the Bavarians in a deal worth around £100 million last summer.
With his goal in Saturday’s 3-2 win against Augsburg, he has scored 27 goals in all competitions this season, 23 of them in the Bundesliga.
But Parker insists that Kane, who also scored eight assists, is only looking out for himself as he looks to break Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals in a single season in the German top flight.
He also said that the Spurs legend’s trophy cabinet will remain empty – even though Bayern are only two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and still in the Champions League.
Parker, who won five major trophies at Old Trafford in the 1990s, made some wild comments in an interview with German newspaper Wettfreunde.
He said: “As much as I’m not a big fan of Harry Kane, you have got to respect the amount of goals he is scoring.
“It’s definitely impressive. The problem is that he is not good to have around. The only thing he is focusing on is beating Lewandowski’s record.
“That’s the only thing he cares about and then he can come back to the Premier League to take another record. He is very selfish.
“Look, everyone is laughing about him in England. People were talking about him leaving because he wanted to win trophies and he is not winning anything.
“On the flipped side of things, Tottenham are doing extremely well. I said it when he was there, they would be better without him.
“Now, it shows that I was right. When Harry Kane is at a club, everything is about him. Everything.
“I think Spurs should be happy he left them.”
