Didi Hamann has told talkSPORT the level of impact Kane has had on the Bundesliga.
He told talkSPORT: “They’re not playing well but it just goes to show how good he is.

“He’s settled and he’s a breath of fresh air.
"To have the England captain in Germany is a huge thing and he’s so humble and so likeable.
