Harry Kane has outlined his ambitions for the Ballon d'Or following his recognition as Germany's footballer of the year for the 2025-26 season, becoming the first English player to receive the honour.

The striker's prolific campaign at Bayern Munich saw him net 61 goals across all competitions, helping the club secure both the Bundesliga title and the German Cup while reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

Kane's achievement comes at a time of significant momentum in his career. Earlier in the summer, he committed to extending his contract with Bayern Munich despite interest from other European clubs, signalling his intention to continue delivering at the highest level in Munich.

His form has also been central to England's recent success on the international stage. Kane and Jude Bellingham have been instrumental in England's World Cup campaign, combining for 10 of the team's 11 goals and establishing themselves as key figures both on and off the pitch in the tournament.

What's next for Kane?

Bayern Munich will face Stuttgart in their next fixture on 28 August, with the match providing Kane an opportunity to build on his award-winning form as the new season progresses.
