Will Harry Kane return to the Premier League? Ballon d’Or winner breaks silence on Alan Shearer goal record and England future
The Bayern striker says his focus remains on Champions League and England success as the Ballon d'Or vote prompts close-race debate.
- On Monday, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane became the first Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or in 25 years at a ceremony held in London.
- Kane's recognition follows a dominant 2025-26 campaign where he scored 73 goals across all competitions, with his move to Bavaria three years ago yielding two Bundesliga titles and a German Cup.
- Critics including former Real Madrid midfielder Guti alleged the London venue influenced the outcome, claiming the 70th anniversary ceremony's relocation to the capital benefited Kane's candidacy.
- Kane confirmed Bayern manager Vincent Kompany is "on the mend" after a recent health collapse, returning to Munich immediately to prepare for Wednesday's German Cup tie against Magdeburg.
- Dismissing speculation about returning to England to chase Alan Shearer's record, Kane remains determined to win the Champions League with Bayern and secure a major international trophy with England.
