Latest news in England. Harry Kane, a 33-year-old striker for Bayern, has assessed his candidacy for the 2026 Ballon d'Or after closing the 2025/26 season with 73 goals in 65 matches between club and national team. The Englishman refrains from commenting on a winner and acknowledges that Lamine Yamal is among the players competing for the prize, with the ceremony set for October 26 in London.

Harry Kane enters the Ballon d'Or with 73 goals

Kane finished the previous season with 73 goals and 8 assists between Bayern and England, a performance that positioned him as one of the top contenders for the individual award. The tally was the second-highest recorded in a season, only behind Lionel Messi's 82 goals in 2011/12.

The forward also secured his second European Golden Shoe and ended as the top scorer in the Bundesliga for the third time since moving to Germany. In the German competition, he netted 36 goals in 31 games, along with 5 assists.

Kane's form continues at the start of the new season. The striker has 1 goal in 3 Bundesliga matchdays, reaching 150 official goals with Bayern on September 13 against Elversberg. He is also one goal away from hitting 100 goals in the Bundesliga, a milestone he may achieve against Union Berlin.

The player's candidacy is now official: UEFA has included Harry Kane among the 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, alongside names like Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Rodri, and Ousmane Dembélé.

Lamine Yamal and Kane, two paths to the Ballon d'Or

Lamine Yamal's case starts from a different profile. The Barcelona player finished 2025/26 with 26 goals and 21 assists, won LaLiga and the Spanish Super Cup, and was also a world champion with Spain.

Kane also acknowledges the influence of the voters and refrains from presenting his records as the definitive argument. In his interview, he explains that the 73 goals are a statistic from the previous season and that he is now focusing on the current season with Bayern.

The voting remains open until September 28, while the ceremony will be held on October 26 at the London Palladium. Therefore, Kane will have to wait several weeks to find out if his goal-scoring exploits enable him to surpass Yamal and the other nominees.

Harry Kane's next target is to maintain his performance with Bayern before the voting deadline: on September 18, Vincent Kompany's team hosts Union Berlin, and the striker needs one goal to reach 100 in the Bundesliga.
