World Cup 2026: Harry Kane sets sights on Ballon d’Or in bid to help England to glory

Harry Kane hopes he can make himself the leading contender for the Ballon d’Or by helping fire England to World Cup glory.

The England captain enjoyed another standout campaign with Bayern Munich, scoring 61 goals across all competitions - including a hat-trick in the DFB-Pokal final as Vincent Kompany's side completed a domestic double.
