Kane downplays Ballon d'Or prospects despite 73-goal season at Bayern
Harry Kane says he is focused on winning trophies with Bayern Munich rather than individual awards, despite a prolific scoring record.
Harry Kane could become the first English player to win the Ballon d'Or since 2001, but the Bayern Munich striker has indicated his priorities lie elsewhere. Kane has scored 73 goals this season, a remarkable tally that would normally put him among the award's leading contenders.
The England forward told media that team success and winning silverware with Bayern are his main focus rather than individual accolades. The Ballon d'Or recognizes the world's best footballer annually and has not been won by an English player in over two decades.
