Kane Ballon d'Or, history is in the making

Apart from a Bundesliga, Harry Kane has never won a major trophy. What if 2026 was the year of its consecration?

Harry Kane has had a resounding start to the season with Bayern Munich.
Under the colors of the German clubthe English striker has already scored 18 goals, in all competitions, since the start of the 2025-2026 financial year.

Insane statistics, worthy of a
Golden Ball. A trophy that the former Tottenham striker never won. Now aged 32, the Walthamstow native would perfectly see himself succeeding Ousmane Dembélé on the list of winners.

“I would love to win the Ballon d’Or! It is essentially a team trophy won by the best individual on the team. It would be for a Champions League winner or a World Cup winner… It would almost be the perfect season,” he declared during an interview given to Guardian.

Kane Ballon d'Or, the 2026 World Cup will be decisive

The 2026 Ballon d'Or will probably be a player who performed at the next World Cup with his national team. As a reminder, this event will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026 and will be jointly organized by the United States, Canada and Mexico. According to bookmakers, Harry Kane is currently one of the ten favorites to win the prestigious individual award.
