Will Harry Kane return to the Premier League? Ballon d’Or winner breaks silence on Alan Shearer goal record and England future
Kane says Bayern and England are his focus as a new contract nears and he dismisses a chase for Alan Shearer’s Premier League record.
- On Monday, England and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane won the Ballon d'Or in London, becoming the first English winner in 25 years after edging out Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal.
- Kane's victory followed a prolific 2025-26 season in which the 33-year-old scored 73 goals in 65 total appearances, helping Bayern Munich secure two Bundesliga titles.
- Critics including Real Madrid legend Guti questioned the decision, calling it a 'coincidence' that the 70th anniversary Ballon d'Or ceremony moved to London, with some suggesting the process was 'orchestrated.'
- Downing Street declined to rule out a knighthood for Kane, with a spokesperson praising his 'extraordinary' contribution to English football while stating they would not 'pre-empt the honours process.'
- Kane confirmed his priority remains Champions League success with Bayern and winning a major trophy with England, while manager Vincent Kompany recovers from his recent health collapse.
