'It's a bonus' - Harry Kane not interested in Ballon d'Or talk as England captain targets Club World Cup success with Bayern Munich

Kane could be in the running for the individual award after spearheading Bayern's Bundesliga title victory and impressing in the USA would push his case forward further. However the England skipper is adamant it is not on his mind.

Kane said: "Every individual award is the result of what you achieve as a team. Of course, I'm more focused on helping my team, whether with goals, assists, or even without the ball. When you receive an individual award, it's a bonus for what you've achieved during the season. If we win the Club World Cup after the Bundesliga, it would mean we're one of the best teams in Europe and the world. We'll see if that results in a personal award for me, but that's not on my mind right now."

Kane finished 10th in the 2024 Ballon d'Or voting, a long way behind runaway top three Rodri, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. He could benefit from winning his first piece of silverware at club level this year.

Kane will be part of the Bayern side that takes on Auckland City, Boca Juniors and Benfica in the group stage of the Club World Cup.
