England’s captain has netted 98 goals in 94 matches over three Bundesliga seasons, winning the Golden Boot each time.
At the 2026 World Cup, Kane scored six for England, taking his total to 14 in 18 appearances and becoming the nation’s all-time leading scorer at the tournament.
He is viewed as one of the favourites for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, though he says his attention is on the season ahead.
He described the Ballon d’Or as the pinnacle of individual recognition.
While he feels he had an outstanding campaign last year, he emphasised that his focus is now on the new season.
He noted that the award is out of his control, with his performances already delivered and the outcome left to votes, the media, and other external factors.
He added that winning would be amazing, but with the decision still a couple of months away, it is not at the forefront of his mind right now.
