"Who else does he have to compete with? Erling Haaland is also great, but they are different types of players. For me, Harry is right at the top of the current crop of strikers," Müller told Sport Bild.
"Harry is simply a footballer with every fiber of his body. He understands the game. Firstly, he knows where the dangerous areas are. Secondly, he immediately sees what the other player can do, where his strengths are. He doesn't just play balls from A to B, there's always an idea behind it," he added.
Kane has scored an impressive 22 goals in just 16 Bundesliga appearances since joining from Tottenham last summer, and Müller has been blown away by the England captain's performances so far.
"I don't know if any player has ever had a better start at a club than Harry. I'm not just talking about the raw numbers, but the impact he's already had on our team," said Müller.
"Harry Kane is a player you know is always going to be there - at the highest level. He scores a goal in almost every game - but even when he doesn't, he does his job".
