The England captain scored 61 goals across all competitions for Bayern Munich this season, claiming the Bundesliga once again in what has been an incredible successful move for the 32 year old.
Kane has claimed the league title, DFB-Pokal and now has his sights on the World Cup which, if won, would almost guarantee him the Ballon d’Or.
Now, speaking on his chances at lifting the famous award, he admitted that he knows he is currently up there with the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lamine Yamal to lift it.
"I’d be one of the favourites, definitely," Kane explained. "Given the trophies I’ve won this season and the number of goals I’ve scored, I’d be in the running.
"Especially as, should England win the World Cup, one could imagine the trophy going to an English player." This honest assessment highlights his clear understanding that club form alone might not be enough.”
"When you look at who the current favourites are to win the Ballon d’Or, there’s Michael (Olise), the Champions League finalists and me,"
Kane will be hoping to deliver a first tournament success since 1966 over the summer, boosting his chances immensely at winning the Ballon d’Or, something that hasn’t been won by an Englishman since Michael Owen in 2001.
