Bayern Munich and England striker Harry Kane has addressed the possibility of winning the Ballon d'Or. The 33-year-old forward acknowledged that securing the prestigious individual award would be a massive milestone in his professional career.

English players haven't won the Ballon d'Or for over 20 years, even though we've had many outstanding players during that time. For me, winning the fight for the Ballon d'Or would be a huge success, but right now I am fully focused on performing well again this season. Harry Kane

The award ceremony is scheduled for October 26 and will be held in London, a location that Kane admits makes the event feel extra special. Alongside the England captain, Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal is widely considered one of the primary contenders for this year's trophy.
