Although the situation isn't amusing, soccer enthusiasts can't help but see the irony. The London police are on a manhunt for a culprit who robbed a solitary woman in the wealthy district of Richmond at the end of October. The police's possession of a sketch of the man should facilitate his swift apprehension.
Interestingly enough, the alleged criminal has a striking resemblance to the renowned English national soccer player. This observation didn't slip past the vigilant eyes of the team's fans. The thief is said to look eerily similar to Harry Kane.
The man in the photo has similar facial characteristics such as head shape, nose, and beard. Adding to the similarity, the police are searching for someone aged 20-30, coinciding with Kane's age of exactly 30 years old—even the hair color matches.
Fans are making light of the situation on various online platforms. However, the robbed woman and the police force aren't amused.
"I thought he had moved to Munich," one English fan quipped on social media.
Kane shifted from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich and is currently experiencing the pinnacle of his career. Despite only being with the German champions since August, he has already netted 17 goals in just 11 league games. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if he can surpass Lewandowski's record of scoring against rival goalkeepers 41 times in a single Bundesliga season.
Kane's move to Munich also comes with a hefty paycheck. According to information published by Bild, the player can expect a yearly income of around 25 million Euros which equates to approximately 28.5 million USD.
