Will Harry Kane Return to the Premier League? Ballon d’Or Winner Breaks Silence on Alan Shearer Goal Record and England Future
Kane said he is focused on Bayern and England trophies, while talks over a new contract continue after his 61-goal season.
- On Monday, England captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d'Or at the London Palladium, becoming the first Englishman to claim the award in 25 years.
- Kane's recognition follows a prolific 2025-26 campaign in which he scored 73 goals across 65 matches for Bayern and England, helping the German club secure a domestic league and cup double.
- While France Football editor Vincent Garcia confirmed the voting between Kane and runner-up Kylian Mbappe was "incredibly tight," critics including Guti questioned the timing of the London-based ceremony.
- A Downing Street spokesperson praised Kane's "extraordinary" contribution to English football, though declined to pre-empt the formal honours process regarding potential knighthood calls.
- Kane remains focused on winning the Champions League and a major trophy with England, recently stating he is not currently concerned with chasing Alan Shearer's Premier League goalscoring record.
